Biography
I am a Peruvian-American who completed high school and college
in the United
States. Trained as a political scientist with a specialization in
international
relations at Harvard (B.A.) and at Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced
International
Studies (M.A.), I received my Ph.D. in modern European history at
Columbia
University. The topic of my dissertation was "History and Historians
of Nineteenth-Century Spain". I have taught at the University of Maryland (1968-1972)
and San
José State University (1989 to Present). In the interim, I
pursued a career in international business in the Middle East, Latin American and Pacific Rim.
At San José State University I have taught courses on modern
England and Spain, colonial and modern Latin America, U.S. constitutional
history, early California, and historiography. In addition, I presently
offer the honors seminar and thesis. I have written several articles
on Spanish and Latin American historiography and foreign policy. I
have also published numerous articles on Peruvian military, political,
and intellectual history. At present, I am working on a manuscript
on early twentieth-century Peruvian political ideology. In 1998 I
participated in the SJSU Bath Program as Professor of English history
and field trip director.
During the summers of 1994, 1995, and 1998 I directed NEH seminars
on Latin American Nationalism for secondary school teachers. I have
been a Fulbright scholar in Spain and Peru. I have also been a fellow
of the Spanish Foreign Office. In Peru, I have taught a graduate seminar
at the Catholic University and have lectured at numerous universities
in Lima, Cuzco, and Arequipa. I have worked as a reader in Latin American
history for Stanford University Press and as a historical consultant
for Newsweek Books. Finally, I have attended post-graduate seminars/workshops
at the University of Wisconsin, UC Santa Barbara, the University of
San Marcos (Lima, Peru), and the University of Santiago de Chile.
