This book "is a collection of local stories gathered in one volume whose coherence is solely in the common theme. The book we offer is the product of more than two years of joint readings, shared research, controversies and debates in the Seminario de Historia y Estudios Urbanos y Regionales of the Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora, between historians, geographers and architects from multiple academic institutions in Mexico."--Page [7].
