In Rotan Switch, Lisa McCord documents life on her grandparents' cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta community of Rotan. It takes its name from the community's central landmark - the railroad switch where farmers loaded their cotton bales onto trains headed out of the Delta. Although it has not been used in years, it remains a potent symbol of the complex intersections of industry and agriculture, of racism and injustice. This project spans forty-five years, from 1978 to 2021, following five generations of a community.
