A Companion to Viceregal Mexico City, 1519-1821
John F. López's excellent anthology on Mexico City's history is the third volume in Brill's Companions to the Americas series. It offers a broad selection of “state of the field” essays on a wide range of topics (p. 5). As editor, López has achieved a great deal of thematic unity across the volume, which emphasizes both the kaleidoscopic complexity of Mexico City's cultural heritage and the global dimensions of historical changes during the vicer…
Islands in the Lake: Environment and Ethnohistory in Xochimilco, New Spain
A City on a Lake: Urban Political Ecology and the Growth of Mexico City
In A City on a Lake, Matthew Vitz adds an important, compelling study to the burgeoning scholarship on Mexico's environmental history. At once also an urban history, a work of historical geography, and a political history of popular mobilizations and state formation from the 1870s to the 1940s, the book traces the rise and consolidation of a technocratic bureaucracy that dealt with efforts by working and middle classes of the Basin of Mexico to s…
Violence and vigilance in Nahua communities of seventeenth-century central Mexico
While historians have long studied the institutional dimensions of crime and punishment, this article examines the informal, extra-legal efforts of Nahuas and other residents of central Mexican communities to contend with violence and resolve conflicts. Residents of Nahua communities could not rely entirely on the authorities for protection and justice; rather, by being vigilant and taking matters into their own hands, they played a vital but und…
The Environmental History of Colonial Mexico
In spite of the sizable scholarly literature on New Spain, and notwithstanding the fact that environmental history is now a highly influential field, on first glance, there seem to be surprisingly few works of environmental history for colonial Mexico. Or are there? This article suggests that as a multi‐disciplinary enterprise and as an area of history that overlaps and blends with many others, the environmental history of colonial Mexico has bee…
Spaniards in the Nahua City of Xochimilco: Colonial Society and Cultural Change in Central Mexico, 1650–1725
In 1650, a Nahua noble named don Martín Cerón y Alvarado set down his last wishes in a codicil. Eminent but now elderly and frail, don Martin had served many times as governor of the central Mexican altepetl (ethnic state) of Xochimilco. Located by the lakes to the south of Mexico City, Xochimilco was a prominent and populous polity, renowned for its bountiful wetland agriculture. Such was its size and economic vitality that Spanish authorities, …
Lakes, Canoes, and the Aquatic Communities of Xochimilco and Chalco, New Spain
Canoes played a vital part in supporting the distinctive aquatic societies that Nahuas had fashioned from Lakes Xochimilco and Chalco in central Mexico. Residents there had long relied on waterborne transportation to maintain a wide range of enterprises. The lakes facilitated the commercial integration of the region, and the benefits of canoe transportation extended beyond the indigenous sector of the economy to the provisioning of Mexico City. C…
