Take a street-level tour of Mexico's capital and learn how one of the world's most extraordinary cities has transformed over the centuries. Walking a City'sHistory is both a richly documented panoramic view of Mexico City's long history and an intimate essay on its social and cultural fabric. In this book, Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo uses his expertise as a historian and his talents as a storyteller to bring the city to life. Using influential moments in Mexico City's history from the Battle of Tenochtitlán in 1521 to the present, Tenorio-Trillo illustrates the capital's transformations against a national and global background. Walking a City's History offers an original, unique perspective on the social, architectural, artistic, and political dimensions of Mexico City, guided by chronicles, literary works, historical accounts, and the author's own lifetime of walks through the city.
