Justo Sierra

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Sierra, Justo 

Born Jan. 26, 1848, in Campeche; died Sept. 13, 1912, in Madrid. Mexican government figure and historian.

Sierra was educated as a lawyer. For many years he taught history in a preparatory school. He worked on a number of newspapers and magazines, including La Tribuna, La Libertad, and El Siglo. From 1905 to 1911 he was minister of public education and fine arts; in 1912 he was appointed ambassador to Madrid. Sierra’s main work, The Political Evolution of the Mexican People (1902), is liberal and democratic in its views. It condemns the Anglo-French-Spanish intervention of 1861–67 and praises B. Juárez as the defender of Mexico’s sovereignty.

En Mexico desde el siglo xix, en el proyecto de universidad de justo Sierra estaba presente la idea de la autonomia academica como condicion basica del progreso intelectual y material de la sociedad; esta propuesta no atribuia competencia alguna al Estado en materia de ciencia, por lo que su mision deberia concretarse a la subvencion de la instruccion publica (Alvarado, 1994: 86).
