EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures the reality of the Kern County camp for migrants located fifteen miles out of Bakersfield, California. The camp was planned and erected by the Resettlement Administration in response to the Great Depression, which left countless Americans displaced and jobless. The camp was only partially occupied due to the lack of work opportunities in the fields. The image shows a group of women doing laundry outside, surrounded by makeshift structures, creating a scene of communal living. The camp was one of many Hoovervilles, named after President Herbert Hoover, that emerged during the Depression as people were forced to live in makeshift shelters due to their inability to afford proper housing. The Resettlement Administration, later known as the Farm Security Administration (FSA), was a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Depression. The FSA, under the leadership of Roy Stryker, employed photographers like Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee to document the living conditions of the displaced population. Lange's work for the FSA is renowned for her humanistic approach to documenting the plight of the American people during this period. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced by Americans during the Great Depression and the government's response to provide relief and support to those in need. The image is held in the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of this moment in American history.
