Jacob August Riis fut un journaliste américain dont l'écriture se concentra sur les démunis de New York. Ses œuvres, façonnées par sa lecture précoce de Dickens et de J.F. Cooper au Danemark, témoignent de talents narratifs perfectionnés par des écrivains anglophones. L'approche de Riis se caractérisait par un œil avisé pour l'injustice sociale et un style narratif qui mettait en lumière les dures réalités des communautés marginalisées. Par son journalisme, il visait à susciter l'empathie et à impulser le changement social en exposant la vie de ceux qui sont souvent négligés.
