Serge Barbeau, who has lived in Mexico for many years, visited the descendants of those militant Maya. They continue to experience the consequences of the dispute to this day and lead a life full of economic, social and cultural disadvantages. The full-page portrait photos are full of detail and show in a moving way the traces of life which have become engraved in the faces of the portrait subjects, the oldest of whom was 107 years old. Their tales remind us of the exploitation, forced labour and the confiscation of land at the time and document the desire for independence which remains unbroken to this day. They also tell of their deep roots in their faith, which unites the Maya heritage and the Christian religion. An impressive act of homage to the Maya of Yucatán.
