We gaze into the eyes of these 19th-century immigrant Americans and we feel for the hardships of the past and refocus on the struggles of today. Urban poverty remains a national blight. We await another Jacob Riis who, with camera and pen, can make the darkness visible and shock us anew. --Louis P. Masur Chicago Tribune An evocative and valuable reminder both of one unrelenting individual's ability to make a difference and of the relevance of his revelations to the painfully familiar problems we face today. (Sam Roberts, New York Times) A rigorous, scholarly reexamination of Riis's life and work.... Riis's lightning-flash images of social catastrophe still have the power to shock, even after 120 years.
