This book takes an unprecedented look at the practices of observation that emerged from this critical site of encounter, showing how they have informed literary and everyday narratives of America, its citizens, and its possible futures. Taking readers from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Sara Blair traces the career of the Lower East Side as a place where image-makers, writers, and social reformers tested new techniques for apprehending America--and their subjects looked back, confronting the means used to represent them. This dynamic shaped the birth of American photojournalism, the writings of Stephen Crane and Abraham Cahan, and the forms of early cinema. During the 1930s, the emptying ghetto opened contested views of the modern city, animating the work of such writers and photographers as Henry Roth, Walker Evans, and Ben Shahn. After World War II, the Lower East Side became a key resource for imagining poetic revolution, as in the work of Allen Ginsberg and LeRoi Jones, and exploring dystopian futures, from Cold War atomic strikes to the death of print culture and the threat of climate change. How the Other Half Looks reveals how the Lower East Side has inspired new ways of looking-and looking back-that have shaped literary and popular expression as well as American modernity. 651 0 $a Lower East Side (New York, N.Y.) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Documentary photography $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Street photography $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Slums $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Inner cities $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85101269 650 0 $a Jews $z New York. $z New York. 650 7 $a Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Documentary photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896093 650 7 $a Inner cities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973711 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061964 650 7 $a Slums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01121194 650 7 $a Street photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134710 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Lower East Side. $z Lower East Side. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01322916 650 7 $a New York- Lower East Side $g Motiv. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)103685468X 650 7 $a Literatur. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 $a Gesellschaft $g Motiv. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4157054-6 650 7 $a Slum $g Motiv. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4519909-7 650 7 $a Film. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4017102-4 650 7 $a Fotografie. $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4045895-7 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 648 4 $a Geschichte 1900-2000. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012331.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4795242101A11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
