Their collaboration resulted in \u003cem\u003eYou Have Seen Their Faces\u003c\/em\u003e, a graphic portrayal of America's desperately poor rural underclass. First published in 1937, it is a classic comparable to Jacob Riis's \u003cem\u003eHow the Other Half Lives\u003c\/em\u003e, and James Agee and Walker Evans's \u003cem\u003eLet Us Now Praise Famous Men\u003c\/em\u003e, which it preceded by more than three years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaldwell 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erskine Caldwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820355879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820355870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Erskine Caldwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926518825215,"sku":"9780820355870","price":104.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_64298824-e49e-4fdb-a8fa-6c709fd7a971.jpg?v=1681083510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-have-seen-their-faces-erskine-caldwell-9780820355870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
