Dorothea Lange's Manzanar



This NYT article alerted me to the work of Ms. Lange in documenting the idiotic insanity of American guvnmhent's internment of Americans (I rather not use hypenated terms of identity here) at camps in the middle of nowhere in western United States, such as at the infamous Manzanar camp, California.

While I had previously consumed Ansel Adams's powerful work on the same subject, this unearthing of Ms. Lange's photographs is a welcome reminder that what folks in this country have to really fear is fear itself; this in context of all the mind games, using color coded threat levels, which (the still all-knowing) guvnmhent uses to with play with their emotions. There are only too many reminders from history of the consequneces of fear morphing into stupidity, and even worse, cruel and unjust laws. Enough of ranting; go look at sets of these stark photos here.
