This looks like it might be interesting…..
From Library Journal:
This substantial book embraces the history of street photography as social and cultural document. Generously illustrated with black-and-white photographs as well as a small selection of color images, the book touches upon the work of acknowledged masters such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andre Kertesz, Paul Strand, Bill Brandt, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, and many others. Farm Security Administration photographers, including Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, also receive their due along with contemporary American photographers Weegee (Arthur Fellig), Gary Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, and Helen Levitt-to name just a few. This ambitious effort is perhaps most successful in bringing together the work of these classic photographers in a thoughtful, coherent study of this fascinating genre of photography. Westerbeck is associate curator of at the Art Institute of Chicago and Meyerowitz is a photographer

I actually JUST received a copy from Amazon
It’s good stuff, I’ll be digging into it more.
A couple more interesting street photo resources:
http://www.in-public.com (galleries from some fantastic current street photographers)
http://www.e-photobooks.com/cartier-bresson/decisive-moment.html (an e-book Version of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s classic work, with some astounding images even if you’ve seen them a thousand times).
Lastly, this item on modern street photography. It’s pretty coarse and vulgar but a great read:
