An American Exodus: A Record of Human Erosion - Dorothea Lange & Paul Taylorby Dorothea Lange
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:First published in 1939, An American Exodus is one of the masterpieces of the documentary genre. Produced by incomparable documentary photographer Dorothea Lange with text by her husband, Paul Taylor, An American Exodus was taken in the early 1930s while the couple were working for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) The book documents the rural poverty of the depression-era exodus that brought over 300,000 migrants to California in search of farmwork, a westward mass migration driven by economic deprivation as opposed to the Manifest Destiny of 19th century pioneers. This facsimile edition of the original volume reintroduces this sought-after work of art — a pioneering book that was among the first to combine photographs with oral testimony — to a contemporary audience, providing an insight into the struggles of the Depression as well as offering a profound and timeless look at the human condition.
