Davíd Carrasco
Neil L. Rudenstine Professor of the Study of Latin America
Davíd Carrasco is a Mexican American historian of religions with particular interest in native Mesoamerican cities as symbols, and the ways Mexican-Americans draw on indigenous histories and myths to survive and thrive in the “borderlands” of culture. His experiences and studies with historians of religions at the University of Chicago inspired him to work on the question, "where is your sacred place?"
