EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Resettlement Administration's part-time farms, Glendale, Arizona," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937. The image is a poignant depiction of the rural landscape during the Great Depression era in the United States. The Resettlement Administration, a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural families, implemented various programs to improve living conditions and promote economic stability. In this photograph, we see a series of bungalows arranged in a row, nestled amidst the arid Arizona countryside. The simple, rustic houses, with their whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs, stand as testament to the resilience and determination of the people who lived and worked on these part-time farms. The buildings, which were designed to provide temporary housing for families, are surrounded by barren land, underscoring the economic hardships faced by the community. The photograph, which is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, was taken during the period when Lange worked for the FSA and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Her powerful and evocative images of the Great Depression helped to bring attention to the plight of millions of Americans and played a significant role in shaping the public's perception of the era. This image, with its stark contrasts and thought-provoking composition, serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by rural communities during the Great Depression and the efforts made to provide relief and support during this difficult time in American history.
