The Likes of Us: Photography and the Farm Security Administration

by: Stu Cohen
A worthy addition to the library of FSA photos though I say that with some reservations about the book's presentation. The idea for the publication came to author Stu Cohen years ago when he slowly discovered the FSA treasures in the Library of Congress. After writing his treatise nothing happened (and he died in 1995) until the publisher of this book came across it and asked Peter Hales to edit the manuscript for publication.

Cohen's text: Photography and the Farm Security Administration, is rather short but he packs in a huge amount of fascinating analysis: social documentary photography; the photos as socio-historical evidence; as works of art and finally, as propaganda.
