"Margaret Bourke-White made You Have Seen Their Faces with her future husband, the writer Erskine Caldwell. It was the most financially successful of the documentary photobooks published in America during the Depression, and one of the most controversial. ... There were, however, philosophical objections to You Have Seen Their Faces from a purely factual, documentary point of view, and these hinged on the whole style of the book, the rhetoric of both text and photographs. ... Caldwell's text has been much criticized for the fact that he puts words that weren't actually there into the mouths of Bourke-White's subjects, but, as most documentary books of the 1930s demonstrate, 'truth' is a construct, and this is not the only book guilty of that crime--if indeed it is a crime. You Have Seen Their Faces illustrates how the fine lines that govern art of documentary photography--lines relating to rhetoric, emphasis, determinism, prejudgement, objectivity and subjectivity--are distorted at the artist's peril."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London : Phaidon, 2004.

"Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White have combined their considerable talents to produce an incisive, sensitive statement about the relation between the poverty of the people and the depletion of the land in the Deep South. In a powerful and informal style, Erskine Caldwell explores the reasons behind the deterioration of what was once the land where cotton was king. And Margaret Bourke-White's superb photographs capture the essence of the day-to-day existence of the people in this land, which no words, however eloquent, can convey. - Back cover."
