ABOUT ME
My name is Carlos Parra and I am a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and I am fascinated by the history and peoples of the U.S.-Mexican border region. I study U.S., Latino, and Mexican history, focusing on identity and cultural formation. As a former teacher and as someone deeply interested in public history, I share my passion for education and the past along with my love of photography as a way of broadening our understanding of the Mexican-U.S. borderlands.

I hate to see a fence anywhere. I hope there won't be a fence here too long. |
