Little heard from as the tobacco wars rage around them are the men and women whose lives have been defined by their jobs as tobacco growers. Tyagan Miller's revealing photos and Susan Neville's colorful narrative offer the stories of one group of these workers in southern Indiana. The reader is invited to see these farmers not just as producers of a harmful substance but as people whose simple yet vital existence depends on tobacco production. Twilight in Arcadia offers a forum for these tobacco workers to discuss how they came to this type of work and what made them stay. Neville reports on the ways Indiana's tobacco subsidy program has fostered small-scale, labor-intensive, family farms that have contributed to thriving rural communities, which may be threatened by the withdrawal of state support. Twilight in Arcadia does not propose a solution to the tobacco program issue; instead, it offers a glimpse of a way of life that may soon be extinguished, for better or worse.
