Tenement Conditions In Chicago (1901)

by Robert Hunter

Book Overview

Tenement Conditions in Chicago is a book written by Robert Hunter in 1901 that presents a detailed account of the living conditions of the poor in Chicago during the early 20th century. The book is an eye-opening expos����� of the appalling living conditions of the working-class families who lived in the city's overcrowded tenements. Hunter, a social reformer and journalist, conducted extensive research and interviews with residents of the tenements to provide a firsthand account of the squalor, disease, and poverty that characterized their lives. He also explored the root causes of these conditions, including the lack of affordable housing, inadequate sanitation, and the exploitation of workers by landlords and employers. The book is a powerful indictment of the social and economic inequalities that existed in the United States at the turn of the century and a call to action for reformers and policymakers to address these issues. Today, Tenement Conditions in Chicago is considered a seminal work of American urban sociology and a classic of social reform literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
