The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, The Life of Mexico City
Book • 2018
This book challenges the notion that Tenochtitlan was completely destroyed after the Spanish conquest in 1521.
Instead, Barbara Mundy argues that the city remained an Amerindian city throughout the sixteenth century, with indigenous elites playing crucial roles in its rebuilding and cultural development.
The book draws on diverse sources, including maps, sculptures, and early colonial chronicles, to demonstrate the continuity of indigenous influence in Mexico City's architecture and urban life.
