Story0
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.

One of the first personal narratives written by an ex-slave, this is also one of the few written by a woman. Harriet Jacobs (1813-97) was enslaved, along with her family, in North Carolina under a ruthless master who sexually harassed her. After several failed escape attempts, and several years of hiding, she finally made her way North to freedom, where she was eventually reunited with her children. The book was published in 1861.

Story0
Harriet Jacobs’ autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs’ depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.

Story0
Harriet Ann Jacob's autobiography documents her life as a slave and how she attained freedom for herself and her children. Harrowing in its descriptions of sexual abuse, Jacob's slave narrative is notable for the appeal it made to abolitionist women to open their eyes to the realities of slavery. Deemed too shocking for reading audiences at the time, the book was shelved before it was published in 1861 near the start of the Civil War.

When most Americans think of environmentalism, they think of the political left, of vegans dressed in organic-hemp fabric, lofting protest signs. In reality, writes Jacob Darwin Hamblin, the movement - and its dire predictions - owe more to the Pentagon than the counterculture.

After One Hundred Winters confronts the harsh truth that the United States was founded on the violent dispossession of Indigenous people and asks what reconciliation might mean in light of this haunted history. In this timely and urgent book, settler historian Margaret Jacobs tells the stories of the individuals and communities who are working together to heal historical wounds - and reveals how much we have to gain by learning from our history instead of denying it.

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.

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.
