EDITORS COMMENTS
More than Twenty-Five Years a Bindle-Stiff: A Portrait of Resilience and Perseverance in the Depression-Era Napa Valley, California This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, presents a full-length image of a weary, middle-aged man identified as a 'bindle-stiff.' The term 'bindle-stiff' or 'bindlestiff' referred to itinerant laborers who carried their belongings in a bundle, traveling from one job to another in search of employment. This man, with his worn-out clothes, weathered face, and bundled possessions, embodies the spirit of the migrant workers who formed the backbone of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in California during the Great Depression. The photograph was taken in Napa Valley, California, during a time when the country was grappling with the economic hardships of the Great Depression. The man's story is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the resilience of those who faced poverty, unemployment, and homelessness during this period. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this image as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Her photographs, including this one, provided a visual record of the social and economic conditions of the time, shedding light on the struggles of ordinary Americans during the Great Depression and the New Deal era. This powerful image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring impact of economic downturns on individuals and communities. The man's determined expression and the weight of his bundle speak to the hardships faced by millions during the Depression and the perseverance required to survive during those challenging times.
