The chapter focuses on Richard Wright's photo-documentary book 12 Million Black Voices (1941) as well as on essays of the Chicago School of Urban Sociology to examine the intersections between literary, photographic and sociological discourses. The chapter suggests that social scientists and modernist mythologizers portrayed urban space in similar ways, largely through literary metaphors.
