Ricardo Pérez Haristoy wins Amílcar Cabral Prize
Dec 12, 2024 | News

Chilean historian Ricardo Pérez Haristoy was the winner of the third edition of the Amílcar Cabral Prize, an award promoted by the Institute of Contemporary History and the Monument to the Discoveries / EGEAC.
The prize was awarded for the article ‘South America’s Transnational Solidarity with Southern Africa Chilean and Argentine Exiles as Cooperators in Mozambique, 1976–1986’, co-authored with Mario Ayala and published in the Journal of Global South Studies (UF Press). The jury considered that the article was ‘empirically and ethnographically well documented’, ‘solidly argued’ and that it ‘addresses a relevant and little-studied topic, namely the networks of international solidarity between the Chilean and Argentine left and independent Mozambique, through the study of the important role of Latin American co-operators’.
Ricardo Pérez Haristoy did his PhD in History at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He is currently an independent researcher working on the project ‘Relations between Paraguay and Chile (1973-1977): Diplomatic and Paradiplomatic Sources’ at the Museum of Justice, Documentation Centre and Archive for the Defence of Human Rights in Paraguay (funded by CONACYT).
The Amílcar Cabral Prize was created in 2021 with the aim of ‘promoting scientific research and public debate on anti-colonial resistance and the colonial processes that mark world history from the 15th century to the present day’. The previous winners were both based in Canada: Esmat Elhalaby, from the University of Toronto, and Sakiru Adebayo, from the University of British Columbia.
