Warren Dean (1932, Passaic, New Jersey – 21 May 1994, Santiago de Chile) was a prize-winning historian of modern Latin America, specializing in Brazil as well as environmental history. Following his accidental death by asphyxiation due to a defective gas line in his rented apartment,[1][2] the Warren Dean Prize was established by the Conference on Latin American History in 1995.[3]

Early life

Dean was born in New Jersey and moved with his family to Miami when he was 14 years old. He attended University of Miami, completed the Reserve Officer Training Corps program and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. During the Korean War he was an air traffic controller in Maine.[4] Following military service, he entered the program in Latin American history at University of Florida, completing his dissertation in 1964 entitled “São Paulo's industrial élite, 1890–1960.”

Academic career

Following completion of his doctorate, he taught at University of Texas, Austin (1965–70) and moved to New York University, where he remained until his death. His first monograph, The Industrialization of São Paulo (1969), was based on his dissertation work; his second monograph Rio Claro: A Brazilian Plantation System, 1820–1920 (1976) received Honorable Mention for the Conference on Latin American History’s Bolton Prize, “awarded for the best book in English on any significant aspect of Latin American History that is published anywhere during the imprint year previous to the year of the award.”. His final monograph on environmental history With Broadax and Firebrand: The Destruction of the Brazilian Atlantic Coastal Forest (1995) won the Bolton-Johnson Prize posthumously.[5] He was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1980,[6] and became a member of the Royal Geographical Society.[7] He served on the editorial board of the Hispanic American Historical Review.

Dean organized the American Committee for Information on Brazil, during the military dictatorship in that country, documenting and denouncing the use of torture.[8]
