Riis and Charity Writing
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Though in many ways Jacob Riis’s How the Other Half Lives follows in the tradition of nineteenth-century charity writing, portions of his book are unlike any previous American writings on poverty. His description of the infamous Mulberry Bend is one. It is touristic.
What a birds-eye view of “the Bend” would be like is a matter of bewildering conjecture. Its everyday appearance, as seen from the corner of Bayard Street on a sunny day, is one of the sights of New York.
