We all know Dorothea Lange's iconic photos—the Migrant Mother
holding her child, the shoeless children of the Dust Bowl—but now
renowned American historian Linda Gordon brings them to
three-dimensional life in this groundbreaking exploration of
Lange's transformation into a documentarist. Using Lange's life to
anchor a moving social history of twentieth-century America, Gordon
masterfully re-creates bohemian San Francisco, the Depression, and
the Japanese-American internment camps. Accompanied by more than
one hundred images—many of them previously unseen and some
formerly suppressed—Gordon has written a sparkling, fast-moving
story that testifies to her status as one of the most gifted
historians of our time. Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book
Prize; a New York Times Notable Book; New Yorker's A Year's
Reading; and San Francisco Chronicle Best Book.
