EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Squatters' camp near Farmersville, Tulare County, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image presents a stark portrayal of the harsh living conditions endured by displaced families during this period of economic upheaval. The scene depicts a makeshift camp, a temporary refuge for those who had been forced from their homes due to unemployment and poverty. The camp is nestled amidst the arid California landscape, with tents and shanties haphazardly arranged around oil drums used as makeshift stoves. Rubbish and discarded belongings litter the ground, evidence of the hardships faced by the residents. Lange's image is a poignant reminder of the mass displacement and migration that occurred during this time. The photograph was taken as part of the Farm Security Administration's (FSA) efforts to document the effects of the Depression on rural America. The FSA, an agency of the New Deal, was established to provide relief to farmers and rural communities and to prevent the spread of poverty. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative, a type of photographic film that was commonly used during this era. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a national library located in Washington, D.C. that preserves and makes available the cultural, scientific, and historical records of the United States. Lange's photograph is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a reminder of the importance of social safety nets and the need to address the root causes of poverty and displacement.
