This book is a collection of works compiled and compiled from the photo archives of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) held at the New York Public Library, titled "Omen: Phantasmagoria at the Farm Security Administration Archive: 1935–1942." The FSA was a project that aimed to document the state of American agriculture and rural areas after the Great Depression and their recovery through photographs (it also appears to have aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of President Roosevelt's New Deal policy), and involved a number of distinguished photographers, including Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Ben Shahn, and Carl Mydans. In addition to the iconic images by Lange and Evans, which are well known to the world, this project also focuses on lesser known photographs, depicting a new side of American society during this period, and encouraging a reconsideration of how documentary photography is read and understood.
