The latest volume in the "Defining Moments in American Photography"
series, "Trauma and Documentary Photography of the FSA" proposes
that we reconsider the work of the Farm Security Administration and
its most beloved photographers in light of various forms of trauma
in the 1930s. The authors offer new ways to understand this body of
work by exploring a more variable idea of documentary photography
than what the New Dealers proposed. Taking a critical look at the
FSA photography project, they identify its goals, biases,
contradictions, and ambivalences, while discerning strikingly
independent directions among its photographers. Blair and Rosenberg
discuss how, in the hands of socially minded photographers seeking
to address and publicize suffering, photography and trauma mixed.
In the volatility of that mixture, they argue, competing ideas for
documentary took shape. Among the key figures studied here are some
of the most beloved in American photography, including Walker
Evans, Ben Shahn, and Aaron Siskind.
