The tension between engagement and estrangement lies at the heart of many of the works featured in this book, from Walker Evans' studies of starving US sharecroppers in the 1930s, to Boris Michaelov's contemporary images of the homeless and the dispossessed in the former USSR. The book is published to coincide with the first ever major photography exhibition to be staged at Tate Modern.
