David Brading is one of the foremost historians of Latin America in
the United Kingdom. The essays in this volume convey the enduring
nature of many of the questions raised by his work. They reflect
the wide range of his interests: from Mexican Baroque and
post-Tridentine Catholicism to studies of the dynamics of state
building in nineteenth- century Mexico and of the problem of
Mexican national identity. The contributions represent a wide
chronological spread from the late seventeenth century to the
twentieth century, as well as geographical diversity (Mexico City,
Queretaro, and Puebla). Part I comprises an autobiographical essay
by David Brading, an appreciation of him by Enrique Florescano, and
an historiographical assessment of Brading's work by Eric Van
Young. Part II gathers together six essays by former students
(Susan Deans-Smith and Ellen Gunnarsdottir) and colleagues (Brian
Hamnett, Marta Garcia Urgarte, Guy Thomson, and Alan Knight). David
A. Brading recently retired from a chair in history at the
University of Cambridge, UK where he directed the Latin American
Centre. He is the author of dozens of articles and a number of
widely praised volumes, including The First America: The Spanish
Monarchy, Creole Patriots, and the Liberal State, 1492-1867
(Cambridge University Press, 1991).
