ARIC alumnus Luis Carlos Barragan recently published the chapter “Design, Disruption, and Disease: Reconstructing the Historical Context of the ‘Mosque-type’ Chapels in Sixteenth-Century Mexico,” in the new volume Islamic and Isalmicate Architecture in the Americas: Transregional Dialogues and Manifestations, edited by Caroline Olivia M. Wolf (University of Chicago Press, 2025). The chapter deals with 16th century chapels in Mexico that share similarities with Andalusian mosques. It is based on Luis’s MA thesis at AUC “Tropical Mudejar: Mosque-type chapels in Mexico and their role in early Spanish America” which was the winner of the George T. Scanlon Graduate Student Award in Arab and Islamic Civilizations in 2018. Congratulations to Luis!
