Robert Haskett, Professor of Latin American History, received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1985 and joined the University of Oregon in 1987. In addition to serving as the Director of the History Department’s undergraduate program, Prof. Haskett’s work focuses on the history of Mexico, Meso-American ethnohistory, and indigenous history of Latin America. His publications include Indigenous Rulers: An Ethnohistory of Indian Town Government in Colonial Cuernavaca (U. New Mexico Press, 1991); Visions of Paradise: Primordial Titles and Mesoamerican History in Cuernavaca (2005); Indian Women of Early Mexico, co-edited with Susan Schreoder and Stephanie Wood (1997); and “‘Our Suffering with the Taxco Tribute:’ Involuntary Mine Labor and Indigenous Society in Central New Spain,” Hispanic American Historical Review (1991). Currently, Prof. Haskett is working on a study of indigenous labor in the Taxco silver mines in colonial New Spain as well as an analysis of colonial indigenous religiosity as revealed in a Nahuatl-language narrative about the lives and deaths of three sixteenth-century Nahua boy martyrs from Tlaxcala.
