Chicago-born and Harvard-educated, I worked as a community organizer in working-class barrios of Venezuela, later earning a Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University and teaching in Latin America and the U.S. My experience in Latin America showed me the sparks that fly when cultures collide -- fireworks that light up A GIFT FOR THE SULTAN, about Muslim-Christian contacts in the final days of the Byzantine Empire.
Today I live in a fishing village in southern Spain with my wife, architect Susana Torre, who designed our seaside home. We travel a lot -- Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas -- and together are writing a history of architecture and urbanism in Latin America. And here in Spain, I'm learning to play flamenco guitar!
