Résumé

In "Out of Mulberry Street: Stories of Tenement Life in New York City, " Jacob A. Riis employs a journalistic yet evocative literary style to illuminate the harsh realities faced by immigrants and the urban poor in late 19th-century New York City. Through vivid anecdotes and compelling narratives, Riis captures the struggles and resilience of tenement dwellers while also critiquing the socio-economic structures that perpetuate their plight.
His work sits at the intersection of social reform literature and photojournalism, a precursor to modern documentary storytelling, as Riis blends rich descriptions with powerful photographs to compellingly portray life in these densely populated neighborhoods. Jacob A. Riis, a Danish immigrant himself, was influenced by his personal experiences of poverty and marginalization, which fueled his desire to expose societal injustices.
His work as a social reformer and a pioneer in the field of social photography gave him unique insight into the tenement experience, fostering a passionate commitment to advocating for urban reform and improved living conditions. "Out of Mulberry Street" is an essential read for those interested in social history, urban studies, and immigrant narratives. Riis's poignant storytelling not only enlightens readers about the past but also serves as a call to action for addressing the ongoing challenges of urban poverty in contemporary society.
