Riis, Jacob. Rediscovering Jacob Riis: Exposure Journalism in Turn-of-the-Century New York by Bonnie Yochelson and Daniel Czitrom.

University of Chicago Press, 2014. Wraps, fine, as new. Previously published in 2007. 296 pages. Illustrated. “Before publishing his pioneering book How the Other Half Lives--a photojournalistic investigation into the poverty of New York’s tenement houses, home to three quarters of the city’s population--Jacob Riis (1849-1914) spent his first years in the United States as an immigrant and itinerant laborer, barely surviving on his carpentry skills until he landed a job as a muckraking reporter. These early experiences left Riis with an empathy for the lives of immigrants that would show through in his iconic photos.” (From back cover)
