Classic book first published in 1941 in which Agee and Evans document white sharecropper families in rural late 1930s Alabama. The book's sixty-four page introductory section features b/w photographs by Walker Evans. In a brilliantly innovative blend of literature and journalism, Harvard-educated James Agee records and comments on the plight of Great Depression-era sharecropper families in the American South (specifically in Hale and Tuscaloosa counties of west central Alabama). Although receiving minimal praise upon its 1941 publication, LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN is now lauded as a classic text in American literature and photojournalism. {Shelf#CVA-00922}.
