Edward Bradford Burns (1933-1995) was an American historian and university professor who specialized in Latin America, particularly Brazil and Nicaragua.[1] Born in Muscatine, Iowa, the son of Edward Sylvester and Wanda Adaline (Schwandke) Burns, he served in the US Naval Reserve from 1956 to 1959. He received his BA from the University of Iowa in 1954 and his MA from Tulane in 1955. After obtaining his PhD from Columbia University in 1964, he lectured at UCLA and Columbia. At UCLA, he was the first first Dean of the Honors Division in the College of Letters and Science.[2]
Ronald Reagan publicly criticized an editorial by Burns on the US's Nicaragua policy, which led to what the professor described as "15 minutes of fame," including an interview on "Nightline."[3][4]
His first book, The Unwritten Alliance: Rio-Branco and Brazilian-American Relations (1966), won the Bolton Prize.[5] The Brazilian government awarded him with the Order of Rio Branco in 1966.[6] A corresponding member of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro [Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute], his numerous works also include A History of Brazil, Patriarch and Folk, and a bibliographical essay that was the first in English to highlight the contributions of the Afro-Brazilian intellectual Manuel Querino.[7][8]
A Professor Emeritus at UCLA, he died of liver cancer on December 19, 1995 and was survived by his mother, his sister, Karen Burns Kenny, and his life partner, David Aguayo.[1]
