Farm Security Administration, (FSA, Hospodářská bezpečnostní správa) je společnost, která byla vytvořena v USA v roce 1935 v rámci New Deal. Úkolem bylo v krizi pomáhat proti americké venkovské chudobě. FSA podporovalo skupování okrajových pozemků, práci na polích s moderními stroji a kolektivizaci.
Historie
Krach burzy v roce 1929 a následný ekonomický kolaps zasáhly celý svět. Trpělo hlavně zemědělství, které v první polovině třicátých let v Americe navíc devastovalo katastrofické sucho v jižních státech.[1]
Společnost FSA roku 1935 zahájila fotografickou kampaň, do jejíhož sociologicko-dokumentárního programu se zapojila řada fotografů. Měla za úkol sestavit dokumentaci sociálních problémů v jižních státech USA.[2] Těmto fotografům vděčíme za výjimečný obraz Ameriky v době krize a jejích dozvuků. V tomto období se formovala „dokumentární fotografie“. Jejími hlavními charakteristikami byl důraz na realismus, snaha bez příkras zachytit věci takové, jaké jsou, spoluprožití bídy a utrpení, jasný morální postoj a konečně samotné vědomí specifičnosti tohoto média.[3]
Se vstupem USA do druhé světové války v prosinci 1941 však nastala změna. Projekt dostal jiné jméno – Office of War Informations – a také jiný program. Ve válce musela propaganda ukazovat, jak jsou Spojené státy silné a ne jaké mají potíže. V roce 1948, kdy FSA zanikla, byla dokonce snaha pořízené dokumenty zničit, aby nemohly být použity pro komunistickou propagandu.[4]
FSA pomocí plakátů pracovala na podpoře vlastenectví, varovala cizí vyzvědače a pokoušela se získat ženy, aby pracovaly pro válku. Agentura měla také pobočku v zahraničí. Fotografové zaměstnaní v této společnosti vytvořili přibližně 1600 barevných fotografií, které zachycují život ve Spojených státech, včetně Portorika a Panenských ostrovů.

Photograph of Russell Lee, photographer for the Farm Security Administration. Nitrate negative, "4 x 5 inches or smaller"
Portrait shows Florence Thompson with several of her children in a photograph known as "Migrant Mother". The Library of Congress caption reads: "Destitute pea pickers in California. Mother of seven children. Age thirty-two. Nipomo, California." In the 1930s, the FSA employed several photographers to document the effects of the Great Depression on the population of America. Many of the photographs can also be seen as propaganda images to support the U.S. government's policy distributing support to the worst affected, poorer areas of the country. Lange's image of a supposed migrant pea picker, Florence Owens Thompson, and her family has become an icon of resilience in the face of adversity. However, it is not universally accepted that Florence Thompson was a migrant pea picker. In the book Photographing Farmworkers in California (Stanford University Press, 2004), author Richard Steven Street asserts that some scholars believe Lange's description of the print was "either vague or demonstrably inaccurate" and that Thompson was not a farmworker, but a Dust Bowl migrant. Nevertheless, if she was a "Dust Bowl migrant", she would have left a farm as most potential Dust Bowl migrants typically did and then began her life as such. Thus any potential inaccuracy is virtually irrelevant. The child to the viewer's right was Thompson's daughter, Katherine (later Katherine McIntosh), 4 years old (Leonard, Tom, "Woman whose plight defined Great Depression warns tragedy will happen again ", article, The Daily Telegraph, December 4, 2008) Lange took this photograph with a Graflex camera on large format (4"x5") negative film.[1]
