Omschrijving

""A Ten Year's War: An Account Of The Battle With The Slum In New York"" is a non-fiction book written by Jacob August Riis and published in 1900. The book is a detailed account of the author's ten-year struggle to improve the living conditions of the poor in New York City's slums. Riis, a Danish-American journalist and social reformer, was a strong advocate for the rights of the poor and marginalized members of society. In the book, he describes the squalor and poverty that he witnessed in the tenements of New York, and the efforts he made to bring about change. Riis details his work with various organizations, including the Children's Aid Society and the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, as well as his own efforts to improve the living conditions of the poor. He also discusses the political and social factors that contributed to the growth of slums in New York City. Overall, ""A Ten Year's War"" is a powerful and insightful account of the struggle to combat poverty and improve the lives of the poor in early twentieth-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
