Book Description:
|
Life on the road was anything but glamorous for Farm Security Administration photographers. Their job was to help "explain America to Americans" by photographing the one-third of the nation FDR described as "ill-housed, ill-clad, and ill-nourished." Featured in this book are more than one hundred photographs from the collection of a quarter of a million taken by FSA photographers between 1935 and 1943.
