Über das Buch: Between 1935 and 1943, photographers on behalf of the Farm Security Administration traveled throughout the United States of America to document the country's poverty and "introduce Americans to America." This book presents their work. With nearly 400 images by photographers such as Dorothea Lange, Marion Post Wolcott, Walker Evans, Russell Lee, and Arthur Rothstein, this collection paints a harrowing picture of a nation in crisis. Images of convicts and street children, miners and cotton pickers, itinerant workers and migrants document the hardships of this era, as well as the courage with which people faced the omnipresent need in those years.
Biographie: Peter Walther has published numerous works on literary, photographic, and contemporary history topics, including books on Goethe, Fontane, Thomas Mann, Hans Fallada, and writers in World War I, as well as several illustrated works with historical color photographs. He is the author of the TASCHEN publications The First World War in Colour (2014), New Deal Photography. USA 1935–1943 (2016), and Anna Atkins. Cyanotypes (2023).
