Abstract
This essay examines the changing meanings of the provocative German word Heimat over the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explores how Heimat’s unifying purpose relies on the mythologising of national landscapes, and considers the relevance of the concept in both post-Revolutionary and post-war Mexico. The construction of the University City of Mexico during the 1940s and 50s is used as a case study. The physical realities of the University’s original and constructed landscapes are described and assessed as articulations of different political and social relationships with the land.
