After five hundred years of colonial suppression and a brutal civil
war, the Maya in Guatemala finally have a chance to live in peace.
Latin America's longest civil war ended on December 29, 1996, with
a peace accord between the conservative government of President
Arzu and the Marxist guerrilla group URNG. Now the Maya are
searching the killing fields for their dead, rediscovering their
own magnificent culture and history, and are finally free to
practice their ancient religion at remote altars on mountaintops,
in caves and ravines, or near waterfalls, and to begin to heal
their souls. Magnum photographer Thomas Hoepker has visited
Guatemala six times since 1991. He has captured many aspects of
this remarkable period of transition in an array of astonishing,
full-color shots that will disturb, enchant, and ultimately
instruct.
