It poses questions about how the identity of a place emerges, how it evolves and, why does it change? \u003ci\u003eMexico City's Zócalo: A History of a Constructed Spatial Identity\u003c\/i\u003e utilizes the history of a specific place, the Zócalo (Plaza de la Constitución), to explain the emergence and evolution of Mexican identities over time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting from the pre-Hispanic period to present day, the work illustrates how the Zócalo reveals spatial manifestations as part of the larger socio-cultural zeitgeist. By focusing on the history of changes in spatial production - what Henri Lefebvre calls society's \"secretions\" - Bross traces how cultural, social, economic, and political forces shaped the Zócalo's spatial identity and, in turn, how the Zócalo shaped and fostered new identities in return. It will be a fascinating read for architectural and urban historians investigating Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin A.
