| Summary | "The Capitals of Spanish America" by William Eleroy Curtis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores various cities that serve as capitals in Spanish America, providing insights into their history, culture, and political climate during that period. The book is particularly focused on Mexico City, contrasting its ancient traditions and modern influences. At the start of the book, the author delves into the complexities of life in Mexico City, highlighting the stark juxtaposition between ancient customs and modern advancements. He observes how indigenous practices persist amidst the introduction of new technologies and ideas, culminating in a unique social fabric where the old and the new coexist. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the city's landscape, its people, and the political dynamics under President Porfirio Diaz, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of other capitals across Spanish America.
