- Walker Evans: No Politics is a substantial monograph (320 pages) and is the first book to take seriously Evans’s refusal to act or work politically. Framed by an in-depth and archivally-based study of the work Evans completed in Cuba during the revolution of 1933, this book situates Evans’s work in a much longer history of Americanisation. Walker Evans offers a robust critique of the reification of politics shaping recent studies of American documentary.
