About the book

In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (Penguin Classics, 2006). It was a book which shattered journalistic and literary conventions. Cotton Tenats is an indispensable companion piece. The history of this new volume can be traced back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent Agee and Evans to Alabama in the summer of 1936 and formed the basis for Famous Men. A recent re-examination of Fortune's archives showed that the report was far larger than previously thought - it is this material that forms the basis of Cotton Tenants.
