EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures an aerial view of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) camp for migrant agricultural workers at Shafter, California. During the Great Depression, the FSA was established to provide relief and support to farmers and rural communities affected by the economic crisis. This camp in Kern County, California, was one of many temporary settlements set up to house the influx of migrant workers who traveled from place to place in search of agricultural work. The image shows a rustic, rural landscape dotted with tents arranged in neat rows, resembling a small town from above. The camp, situated amidst the countryside, is surrounded by farmland and appears isolated from the rest of the community. The birds-eye perspective offers a unique vantage point, revealing the vastness of the camp and the sheer number of people who sought refuge there. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this poignant image as part of her work for the FSA and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photograph is a testament to the hardships faced by migrant agricultural workers during the Great Depression and the efforts made to provide them with temporary shelter and support. The image is a powerful reminder of a significant period in American history and continues to resonate as a valuable piece of heritage art and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
