Klappentext zu „Dorothea Lange “
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.

The Sunday Telegraph "Ms Gordon's elegant biography is testament to Ms Lange's gift for challenging her country to open its eyes." International Herald Tribune "Gordon's biography is meticulously researched and pays particular and illuminating attention to her formative years..." The Observer "A richly human portrait of the eminent photographer whose luminous Depression-era images had the democratizing impact of a Steinbeck novel." Vogue "Linda Gordon has striven mightily to project Lange to a wider audience." Literary Review "Linda Gordon's magisterial biography succeeds in imagining what such a life could be." Elaine Showalter, The Times Literary Supplement "...Linda Gordon's mesmerising portrait of the photographer seems to highlight Lange's drive and sensitivity as a microcosm of society at the time...A riveting biography."
