Eric Van Young

Eric Van Young focuses on colonial and nineteenth-century Latin American history, with an emphasis on Mexico. His thematic interests include rural history, peasant movements and political violence, cultural history, historiography, and biography. Currently, he is in the research phase for a biography of Lucas Alaman, 19th-century Mexican statesman, entrepreneur, and historian, within the larger context of post-independence political culture. He has chaired the Department of History (2000-2004) and served as Interim Dean of the Division of Arts and Humanities for 2007-2008.

A historian of colonial Mexico by training, Eric Van Young has written on rural economic history (especially the history of haciendas) and regions in Mexico. In the mid-1980s his interest turned to the history of popular groups in the Mexican independence struggle (1810 - 1821), on which he published a book in 2001. His major current research project is a biography of Lucas Alamán (1792 - 1853), one of the great statesmen and public intellectuals of 19th-century Mexico and Latin America, arguably Mexico's greatest 19th-century historian and the architect of Mexican conservatism, as well as one of the great early promoters of the country's modernization and industrialization. Research on Alamán continues in Mexican archives and other repositories (Carso [formerly Condumex], the Archivo General de la Nación, Benson Latin American Collection-UT Austin, etc.) and the writing is well advanced.  He is also writing a synoptic/interpretive history of Mexico, 1750-1850, under contract to Rowman and Littlefield, Publishers.
