How the Other Half Lives was a pioneering work of photojournalism by Jacob Riis, documenting the squalid living conditions in New York City slums in the 1880s. It served as a basis for future muckraking journalism by exposing the slums to New York City's upper and middle class. How The Other Half Lives quickly became a landmark in the annals of social reform.

In this landmark study of Italy from the 14th through the early 16th centuries, Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt chronicles the rise of Florence and Venice as powerful city-states, the breakup of the medieval worldview that came with the rediscovery of Greek and Roman culture, and the new emphasis on the role of the individual. All these, Burckhardt explains, went hand in hand with the explorations of science and the more naturalistic depiction of the world in art and literature.

I dette afsnit driver vi med strømmen af litteratur, journalistik og rapporter, der afdækkede slumområderne. Den litteratur, som Jacob A. Riis selv bidrog til. Vi bevæger os dybere ind i lejekasernen, ind i gaderne og gyderne. Vi vil nærmere os det spørgsmål, der naturligt meldte sig med slummens tilsynekomst: Hvem boede i slummen? Ligesom Jacob A. Riis selv, var beboerne i New York City kommet fra landområderne til de store industribyer eller ankommet med båd til USAs håbefulde kyster.

Dansk-amerikaneren Jacob A. Riis ankom med dampskibet til Castle Garden i 1870. Med 40 dollars i lommen, foræret af hans naboer i Ribe, kun lige stået af båden, der havde fragtet ham fra det gamle kontinent kiggede den 21-årige Jacob A. Riis udover byen og beskrev et syn, der på samme måde må have betaget de mange andre immigranter, som han havde delt båd med: "...

I det andet afsnit af Jacobs slum skal vi besvare spørgsmålet: Hvad er en slum? Jacob A. Riis gav bare ét af tidens mange svar på slumspørgsmålet. For ham var slummen uløseligt forbundet med den type byggeri, der hed The Tenement House. På dansk: lejekasernen. Dette afsnit handler derfor om boligblokken med navnet The Tenement House - vi træder ind i lejekasernens gange og værelser, for at se hvordan den amerikanske slum så ud. Jacob A. Riis var ikke den eneste, der svarede på slumspørgsmålet.

I dette afsnit skal vi undersøge den kriminelle storby og de dele af byen, som ifølge mange var meget meget langt fra at være en del af det store amerikanske fællesskab - nemlig de folk, der boede i en nat ad gangen i de billige lodging houses. De billige lodging-huse tilbød en nats søvn i bytte for et lille beløb. Et beløb, der som regel kunne skrabes sammen af selv byens allerfattigste. Modsætningen til lodging-husene var gode og trygge hjem.

While his scholarly rigor might remind listeners of classic works like DON QUIXOTE and THE MORTE DARTHUR, Milton‚s unique approach prioritizes engaging storytelling over dense documentation. Although much of the scholarly detail has been streamlined for a smoother listening experience, his critical evaluations of historical figures shine through. From his skeptical view of King Canutes legendary command over the tides to his nuanced appraisal ...
