This is a famous work that's received plenty of attention already, both negative and positive. The controversies surrounding the work revolve around the authors and their 'honest' documentation around the world around them, as well as their methods of study and documentation. The work as a whole though, regardless of criticisms, does provide a careful (if biased) documentation of poverty in the United States around the Depression, particularly in regard to share croppers and tenant farmers. The photos are hard-hitting and carry an impact, with short prose sections to describe some of the history involved. If you're interested, the book's critical reception is worth looking up. The prose is dry, but short, but combined with the photographs it does make for a quick and memorable look back into U.S. history. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In the middle years of the Great Depression, Erskine Caldwell and photographer Margaret Bourke-White spent eighteen months traveling across the back roads of the Deep South--from South Carolina to Arkansas--to document the living conditions of the sharecropper. Their collaboration resulted in You Have Seen Their Faces, a graphic portrayal of America's desperately poor rural underclass. First published in 1937, it is a classic comparable to Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives, and James Agee and Walker Evans's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which it preceded by more than three years. Caldwell lets the poor speak for themselves. Supported by his commentary, they tell how the tenant system exploited whites and blacks alike and fostered animosity between them. Bourke-White, who sometimes waited hours for the right moment, captures her subjects in the shacks where they lived, the depleted fields where they plowed, and the churches where they worshipped.
