EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures the harsh reality of housing for migratory field workers near Calipatria in the Imperial Valley of California. The image depicts a makeshift camp across the road from a Farm Security Administration (FSA) camp, highlighting the stark contrast between living conditions. In this snapshot of American history during the Great Depression, Lange's lens focuses on a group of Mexican migrants who have been forced to leave their homes due to economic hardships. Their dilapidated shelters made from scraps and salvaged materials stand as symbols of poverty and displacement. The presence of cars parked nearby suggests that these workers are constantly on the move, seeking employment opportunities wherever they can find them. The automobiles also serve as reminders that even during such challenging times, transportation was essential for survival. Lange's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by migrant communities during this era. It showcases not only their physical hardship but also their resilience and determination to survive amidst adversity. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this image stands as an important piece of heritage art that documents an integral part of American history. Through her lens, Lange sheds light on social issues like poverty and forced migration while capturing humanity's ability to endure even in dire circumstances.
