The unresolved cultural and social conflicts between Mexico’s native peoples in relation to the Spanish conquest and colonial New Spain remain to this day a thematic constant in Fuentes’s novels and essays, portrayed as the fundamental background and condition to Mexico’s modernization and political development as a democracy.
From his early short stories in Los días enmascarados (1954), to novels and essays that include La región más transparente (1958), Cambio de piel (1967), Terra Nostra (1975), and Los cinco soles de México, memoria de un milenio (2000), Fuentes portrayed Mesoamerica-generally allegorized as Mexico-Tenochtitlan, therefore with an emphasis on the Nahua-as a determining force in modern Mexico, and as an integral part in the world's history of ruling transnational powers.
