An eminent historian's biography of one of Mexico's most prominent
statesmen, thinkers, and writers Lucas Alaman (1792-1853) was the
most prominent statesman, political economist, and historian in
nineteenth-century Mexico. Alaman served as the central ministerial
figure in the national government on three occasions, founded the
Conservative Party in the wake of the Mexican-American War, and
authored the greatest historical work on Mexico's struggle for
independence. Though Mexican historiography has painted Alaman as a
reactionary, Van Young's balanced portrait draws upon fifteen years
of research to argue that Alaman was a conservative modernizer,
whose north star was always economic development and political
stability as the means of drawing Mexico into the North Atlantic
world of advanced nation-states. Van Young illuminates Alaman's
contribution to the course of industrialization, advocacy for
scientific development, and unerring faith in private property and
institutions such as church and army as anchors for social
stability, as well as his less commendable views, such as his
disdain for popular democracy.
