This print deals with the devastating effects of the economic policies of President José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz on indigenous Mexicans. During Díaz’s seven terms as president (1876–1911), estate owners accumulated great wealth by exploiting rural workers barely able to make a living. The print shows government forces executing people who protested against the injustice. Repression and discrimination led to revolution in 1910.
