What followed was a conceptual excavation of the original Mexica capital in relation to the transforming urban landscape of modern Mexico City. \u003cp\u003e Revolutionary-era scholars took a renewed interest in sixteenth century maps as they recognized an intersection between Tenochtitlan and the foundation of a Spanish colonial settlement directly over it. Meanwhile, Mexico City developed with modern roads and expanded civic areas as agents of nationalism promoted concepts like \u003ci\u003eindigenismo, \u003c\/i\u003e the embrace of Indigenous cultural expressions. The promotion of artworks and new architectural projects such as Diego Rivera's Anahuacalli Museum helped to make real the notion of a modern Tenochtitlan. Employing archival materials, newspaper reports, and art criticism from 1914 to 1964, \u003ci\u003eResurrecting Tenochtitlan\u003c\/i\u003e connects art history with urban studies to reveal the construction of a complex physical and cultural layout for Mexico's modern capital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Delia Cosentino, Adriana Zavala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477326995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477326992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.26h x 8.82w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024","brand":"Delia Cosentino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069449335039,"sku":"9781477326992","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4dae34d-0aaa-4b8c-b31b-a38b87785f68.jpg?v=1685424774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resurrecting-tenochtitlan-delia-cosentino-9781477326992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
