And Their Children After Them: A Legacy Revisited

The Pulitzer Prize-winning project Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was first published in 1941, but its impact continues to be felt today. In this continuation of the original work, Dale Maharidge and Michael S. Williamson return to the land and families captured by James Agee and Walker Evans, extending their project of conscience and chronicling the traumatic decline of King Cotton.

The book uncovers surprising historical secrets relating to the families and to Agee himself, effectively laying to rest his fear that his work would be met with indifference. The updated photo essay, featuring ninety new images alongside Evans's classic originals, provides a powerful and poignant portrayal of the lives affected by this decline.
