Look at some of the work of Robert Frank, he completely changed how photographers took pictures in the 50's...he was friends with Jack Keroac and all of the bohemian types of that time period...his stark images of poverty and people are really striking...he made some films as well such as Pull My Daisy and ****sucker Blues (about the Rolling Stones)

Harvey Finkle and David Sanger for poverty shots. You might want to check out the following site - I think it may have a few leads.

Eugene Richards comes to mind. Check out Magnum and VII for a bunch of others.

Robert Frank did loads of work along those themes, in London, a Welsh mining village and the US in the 1950's. I went to a Tate Modern exhibit of his work a couple of years ago:

Check out "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," by James Agee for starters.
