The Man Farthest Down: A Record of Observation and Study in Europe

The Man Farthest Down: A Record of Observation and Study in Europe, published in 1911 by Robert Ezra Park, is a sociological exploration of the urban poor in Europe. Through their travels, Park and his collaborator, Booker T. Washington, investigate the lives of marginalized communities, including Jews and Roma people, highlighting the struggles of the working class. This work is notable for its cross-racial collaboration and its insights into the socio-economic conditions of early 20th-century Europe.
