| Summary: | This book records the full reach of the Farm Security Administration program from 1935 to 1943, honoring its vigor and commitment across subjects, states and stylistic preferences. The photographs are arranged into four broad regional sections but otherwise allowed to speak for themselves, to provide individual impressions as much as they cumulatively build an indelible survey of a nation. Through color and black-and-white images, we meet convicts, cotton workers, kids on the street and relocated workers on the road. We see subjects victim to the elements of nature and the timeless rituals of human life, as much as to the vagaries of the global economic market. We meet Dorothea Lange's iconic Migrant Mother, weather-beaten and worn, with two children leaning on her shoulders. |
