Synopsis

Aztec Urban Planning explores the sophisticated methods the Aztecs used to design their cities, revealing how urban spaces reflected their society's complex structure. Going beyond practical construction, the book argues that Aztec urban planning deliberately expressed political power, religious ideology, and social cohesion. For example, the spatial organization of cities like Tenochtitlan reinforced the Aztec worldview. Intriguingly, the Aztecs developed ingenious agricultural supports, known as chinampas, to sustain their populations, and their transport canals facilitated trade and communication. 

 
The book adopts a holistic approach, integrating archaeological data with historical sources to offer a comprehensive understanding of Aztec urbanism. Beginning with Mesoamerican urbanism's fundamental concepts, it progresses through key components of Aztec cities, such as layout, infrastructure, and ceremonial centers. By examining Aztec urban planning, readers can gain valuable insights into sustainable urban development and the integration of infrastructure with social needs.

    ¡Ándale Prieta! - A Love Letter...

    When I tell people who don’t speak Spanish what “prieta” means—“dark” or “the dark one”—their eyes pop open and a small gasp escapes. … How do I tell them that now, even after the cruelty of children, “Prieta” means love? That each time “Prieta” fell from my grandmother’s lips, I learned to love my dark skin. My Ita called me Prieta. When she died, she took the name with her. 
     
    Yasmín Ramírez spent her twenties feeling lost—working an intensely taxing retail job and turning to bars for comfort. When her beloved grandmother dies, she comes home to El Paso, Texas, where people know how to spell her accented name. As she pulls her life together, she finds comfort in celebrating her Ita, a resilient matriarch who was far from the stereotypical domestic abuelita. Yasmín remembers Ita wistfully singing old Mexican rancheras, her mastectomy scar, the hours they spent watching boxing matches at a dive bar, and of course, Ita’s lesson on how to ball a fist for a good punch. Interviewing her mom and older  
    sister, Yasmín learns even more about why her Ita was so tough—the abusive men, the lost pregnancies, and the toil of almost literally back-breaking jobs. In time, the writer finds her grandmother calling her forth to live with the same bravery and tenacity: “¡Ándale, Prieta!”

    For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. D. W. Griffith's profoundly racist epic, The Birth of a Nation, inspired controversy and protest at its 1915 release and was defended as both a true history of Reconstruction (although it was based on fiction) and a new achievement in cinematic art. Paul McEwan examines the long and shifting history of its reception, revealing how the film became not just a cinematic landmark but also an influential force in American aesthetics and intellectual life. 
     
     
     
    In every decade since 1915, filmmakers, museums, academics, programmers, and film fans have had to figure out how to deal with this troublesome object, and their choices have profoundly influenced both film culture and the notion that films can be works of art. Some critics tried to set aside the film's racism and concentrate on the form, while others tried to relegate that racism safely to the past. McEwan argues that from the earliest film retrospectives in the 1920s to the rise of remix culture in the present day, controversies about this film and its meaning have profoundly shaped our understandings of film, race, and art.
