EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "House in Little Oklahoma," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image depicts a weathered, abandoned log cabin nestled in the California countryside, a poignant reminder of the displacement and hardship experienced during the Great Depression. The cabin, located in Little Oklahoma, a makeshift community of displaced farmers and agricultural workers, stands as a symbol of the economic instability and unemployment that gripped rural America during this period. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The FSA aimed to document the living and housing conditions of these communities, and Lange's photographs, including "House in Little Oklahoma," are a testament to the challenging circumstances faced by farm laborers and their families. The cabin, with its peeling paint and overgrown yard, speaks to the forced migration and displacement that characterized the era. The image invites us to reflect on the human cost of economic downturns and the resilience of those who endured them. Today, "House in Little Oklahoma" stands as an important historical document, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history and the enduring legacy of Dorothea Lange's work.
