Mexico City, The Capital of the 21st Century September 25, 2009

David Lida is the author of Mexico City, The Capital of the 21st Century, a street-level panorama of Mexico City, the cultural capital of the Spanish-speaking world. From the tianguis in El Chopo to the Wal-Mart in Teotihuacan, the gentrification of Condesa to the“China Libre” in Tepito, David Lida will discuss the issues that face the city and its 20 million colorful and resilient inhabitants.

“David Lida shows us a Mexico City that’s not in the guidebooks, but, like a subversive codebreaker, he has pointed out the pathways to its delectably seamy soul.” –Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara and The Fall of Baghdad.
