Zusammenfassung:This volume provides a clear and concise exploration of Mexico City, one of the world's most populous urban centers, with coverage on such topics as politics, crime, the environment, and city life. Located in the middle of the Western Hemisphere and having a history that dates back to the early fourteenth century, Mexico City is perhaps the place where the collision between the European colonizers and Native American peoples was most violent and where the legacy of this encounter has been the most pronounced. Over the past 500 years, Mexico City has navigated the complexities and issues of this civilizational clash in ways that have made the city a vanguard. This book looks at the rich, complex, and often troubled history of this city with the express purpose of highlighting the creative political, economic, cultural, and artistic contributions that this dynamic place has afforded the world. Narrative chapters discuss such topics as Mexico City's history, politics, economy, culture and lifestyle, and more. "Life in the City" sidebars provide readers with interviews with people who lived in, traveled to, or were born in Mexico City. This volume is ideal for students and general readers interested in learning about the city in greater detail than may be found in travel guides.
