Content:
Lucas Alamán (1792-1853) was the most prominent statesman, political economist, and historian in nineteenth-century Mexico. Alamán 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 Alamǹ as a reactionary, Van Young's balanced portrait draws upon fifteen years of research to argue that Alamán was a conservative moderniser, 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.
