This comparative study of conflicts over asymmetrical territorial autonomy examines the special status processes in Tibet, Hong Kong, Catalonia, and Corsica.
About the Book
Constructing Mexico City: Colonial Conflicts over Culture, Space, and Authority examines the spatial, material, and cultural dimensions of life in eighteenth-century Mexico City, through programs that colonial leaders created to renovate and reshape urban environments. Focusing particularly on the administration of Viceroy Juan Vicente de Guemes Pacheco y Padilla, the second count of Revillagigedo (1789-1794), this book considers how the Spanish Bourbon reforms were re-imagined at the local level in Mexico City, within the context of the built environment and the people who define, occupied, and used space within the colonial capital. The plans and ideas of Revillagigedo place him within a broader network of colonial bureaucrats who sought to improve and transform the Spanish Empire in the age of Enlightenment."

As one familiar with the issues in China, I was struck by how balanced, fair, and perceptive the treatments are. The book is also well written and holds the reader’s interest. The book adds beautifully to t
