Mexico City, a city of grandeur and swagger, has long been a seat of empire. Its power has been contested, lending it a tough, battle-hardened look. However, life in the Mexican capital is carefree and intoxicating, offering glimpses of past grandeur and a fascinating wealth of Mexican culture today. This book explores the city's growth from the Tenochtitlan city-state to the capital of the Spanish empires' 'New Spain, to French intervention, revolution, and the newly branded CDMX. Nick Caistor leads us through centuries of history and into the material city of today, from recently constructed museums and shopping malls to neighborhoods where centuries-old traditions still appear to be the norm. Whether sampling ice cream at Xochimilco, watching freestyle wrestling at the Arena Mexico, or savouring long Mexican breakfasts, Nick Caistor reveals why the city continues to fascinate.
