Recenzje

Traditionally a stock figure in American history and culture, the newsboy finally sheds his (and her) picaresque, picturesque, and marginal status in Vincent DiGirolamo's comprehensive and revelatory study. At once a social, cultural, labor, reform, journalism, and capitalist history, Crying the News is an amazing feat of research and writing that, with extraordinary scope and meticulous detail, captures the diverse experience of the 'newsies' as it reveals how we cannot fully understand a hundred years of US life without reckoning with these children and young adults."—Joshua Brown, City University of New York Graduate Center
