"In The Americans Frank has given us a vision of the United States that is as true or untrue as we care to make it. What is certain is that it changed the face of photography in the documentary mode. It struck a chord with a whole generation of American photographers who were not fooled by the sanctimony of 'The Family of Man,' and it paved the way for three decades of photographs exploring the personal poetics of lived experience" (PARR & BADGER, Vol.1, p.247).
