Dr. Eduardo Obregón Pagán was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. He is a versatile interdisciplinary historian whose research focuses primarily on the American West, although his interests can take him far abroad. His work primarily explores the complex experiences and interplay of the West’s many populations—American Indians, Spanish explorers, Mexicans, religious outcasts, European immigrants, African Americans, and Asians. He has published in literary, geology, and sociology journals, and is the author of Murder at the Sleepy Lagoon: Zoot Suits, Race, and Riot in Wartime L.A. (University of North Carolina Press, 2004), and Valley of the Guns: The Pleasant Valley War and the Trauma of Violence (University of Oklahoma Press, 2018). In addition to his scholarly work, he has been active as a public historian. He published books on the history of Phoenix with a trade press, and he was a co-host on the popular PBS and PBSUK series History Detectives. He has been featured on several domestic and international television shows and documentaries, and is the adjunct curator of history at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum.
