Book Reviews of You Have Seen Their Faces
Book Review: An interesting testimony of a period in the south
Summary: 3 Stars
A book is an interesting testimony of the poor people in the South in the 1930s. Some criticized it for making money from the fates of the poor, or for fabricating what people were saying on the photographs. Well, Calldwell said himself that people on the photos didn't say what he wrote and he warns the reader about that in the beginning. In my opinion some of the passages are really a bit too opinionated or maybe Caldwell tries to preach the reader. However, together with good photographs we get to know much about the plight of the poor tenant farmers and sharecroppers in the south, and also about the consequences of poverty and hunger. I recommend reading also some of Caldwell's novels or short stories: Tobacco Road, The God's Little Acre, Trouble In July.
