Street-Land: Its Little People and Big Problems (1915)

Philip Davis

Street-Land: Its Little People And Big Problems is a book written by Philip Davis in 1915. The book is a social commentary on the living conditions of the lower classes in urban areas. Davis explores the struggles of the poor, including poverty, crime, and disease, and how these issues are exacerbated by the crowded and unsanitary conditions of the city.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of life in the city. Davis discusses the lack of affordable housing, the prevalence of slums, and the exploitation of workers. He also examines the impact of immigration on the city, as well as the role of women in the urban workforce.Throughout the book, Davis emphasizes the need for social reform and government intervention to improve the living conditions of the poor. He argues that poverty is not just an individual problem, but a societal one, and that it requires a collective effort to address.Street-Land: Its Little People And Big Problems is a powerful and insightful critique of urban life in the early 20th century. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the ongoing struggle to address poverty and social inequality in cities around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
