If you're near a good bookstore, the small Taschen volume on Man Ray has an 
excellent essay on photography and surrealism by Emanuelle de L'Ecotais, 
and a shorter one by Breton himself (Man Ray, Taschen: Koln, 2001, pp. 
11-20).  The same essays also appear in French and German.  I can also 
recommend "Paris and the Surrealists," by George Melly with excellent MF 
photographs by Michael Woods (Thames and Hudson: NYC, 1991), although it 
doesn't directly address the role of photography in the movement.
