Palimpsest of Past and Present: Tenochitlitlan/Mexico City

The third module of the Humanities 110 syllabus, Palimpsest of Past and Present: Tenochtitlan/Mexico City, looks to a city that was a center of power for successive states (Aztec, Spanish, Mexican) to analyze how history and identity are continually created and re-created.
