Jacob A. Riis Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
3 mei 1849 – 26 mei 1914
Jacob August Riis was een Amerikaanse journalist wiens werk zich richtte op de armen in New York City. Zijn geschriften, gevormd door zijn vroege lectuur van Dickens en J.F. Cooper in Denemarken, vertonen vertelkunsten die door Engelstalige schrijvers zijn aangescherpt. Riiss benadering werd gekenmerkt door een scherp oog voor sociaal onrecht en een verhalende stijl die de harde realiteit van gemarginaliseerde gemeenschappen belichtte. Met zijn journalistiek wilde hij empathie opwekken en maatschappelijke verandering teweegbrengen door de levens van de vaak over het hoofd geziene te onthullen.
