Reviews
"I don't know that I've ever seen better photography. . . . Mr. Caldwell has done some of his finest writing for this book."
—New York Times
Description
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.
