The burden of time
photographs from the Highlands of Chiapas = El cargo del tiempo : fotografias de los Altos de Chiapas
by Marcey Jacobson
"This book reproduces 75 photographs by Marcey Jacobson of the indigenous Maya and non-indigenous Ladino peoples of San Cristobal de las Casas in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. Largely taken during the 1960s and 1970s, these photographs depict the daily life and celebrations of the local population - selling goods in street markets, participating in religious rituals, begging in town squares, and a myriad of other activities.
They offer a sensitive, respectful, and honest portrait of a region increasingly under pressure from the disruptive forces of modernization and political change." "Jacobson's photographs tack back and forth through people's lives to explore the encumbrances and joys of the passage of time. The entire text of the book, including photo captions, appears in both English and Spanish."--BOOK JACKET.
