EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American documentary photographer Dorothea Lange in 1942, captures the desolate scene of the Manzanar War Relocation Center in California, United States. Amidst the arid landscape of the Owens Valley, the rows of barracks stand as the temporary homes for Japanese Americans who were forcibly evacuated from their homes and communities following the signing of Executive Order 9066. The mountainous backdrop, with Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the United States, looming in the distance, serves as a stark reminder of the vast and unfamiliar terrain that now became the new homeland for these American citizens. During the 1940s, the United States, in response to the adversity of World War II and the fear of enemy aliens, implemented the internment of Japanese Americans. The Federal Agency, the Farm Security Administration, under the leadership of Roy Stryker, commissioned Lange to document the living conditions at the internment camps. This image, titled "Japanese relocation, California," is a poignant testament to the concept of citizenship and the loss of homeland for thousands of Japanese Americans during this period. The photograph, now part of the collection at the Library of Congress, evokes a sense of isolation and uncertainty as the mountain range in the background seems to dwarf the makeshift structures below. The image is a powerful reminder of a dark chapter in American history, where the rights and liberties of American citizens were compromised in the name of national security. Lange's photograph serves as a visual record of a time when the very fabric of American identity was tested, and the consequences of fear and prejudice were felt deeply by those who were considered the enemy.
