Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.How the Other Half Lives: Studies Between New York's Neighborhood Houses (Original title in English How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York) was one of the pioneering works of photojournalism by Jacob Riis in 1888. The Originally illustrated with halftones and engravings based on his photographs, the book denounces the living conditions in the working-class neighborhoods of New York City in the 1980s; it was a model of the way in which journalism and, in particular, photo journalism, could echo marginal situations that occurred in the middle and upper classes of a society.
