Biography
Andrés A. Carrete is a scholar from the US-Mexico border who studies the afterlife of Greco-Roman antiquity in contemporary Latin American societies. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow for Harvard University’s Department of the Classics and the Center for Hellenic Studies, as well as academic director for the Center’s Scholars-In-Training Program.
"Antigone a la Mexicana represents a major contribution to the increasingly rich tradition of scholarship on receptions of Antigone in Latin America. Carrete’s focus on Mexico is timely, and the book offers important historical context to its probing analyses of the plays it discusses. I suspect Antigone a la Mexicana will be of great interest and useful to scholars in a variety of disciplines." - Jesse Weiner, Associate Professor of Classics, Hamilton College, USA.
