Abstract

In one fell swoop, Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives introduces readers to almost all of the critical themes they will need to confront to understand the Progressive Era. Riis's evocative and disturbing language and his stark photographs grab the reader's attention and demand interrogation. With little prodding, students ask: What was city life really like in the late nineteenth century? How did immigrants react to the conditions they faced?
