EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Kern Migrant Camp showing one of three sanitary units. California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, which documented the harsh realities of rural poverty and displacement in the United States. The photograph depicts a stark and desolate scene of a migrant camp in California. In the foreground, three sanitary units, resembling large, rectangular buildings, stand isolated amidst the arid landscape. Laundry hangs from the makeshift lines, while tents and other temporary structures dot the horizon. The camp, a temporary shelter for displaced farmers and agricultural workers, was a stark contrast to the modern, permanent housing many Americans enjoyed during this period. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the forced migration and displacement that occurred during the Great Depression, as people were uprooted from their homes and communities in search of work and sustenance. Lange's image offers a glimpse into the living conditions of these migrants, who were often forced to endure inadequate sanitation and housing. The photograph was taken during a time when the Office of War Information (OWI) and the FSA were documenting the effects of the Depression and the New Deal programs intended to alleviate poverty. Lange's work, along with that of other photographers such as Russell Lee, helped to raise awareness of the plight of the displaced and brought attention to the need for government intervention and assistance. This powerful image, with its haunting composition and poignant subject matter, is a testament to Lange's ability to capture the human condition and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
