Mustafah Dhada, an associate researcher at CES and professor of the Doctoral Programme "Post-Colonialisms and Global Citizenship", was honored with the Martin A. Klein Prize for the work «The Portuguese Massacre of Wiriyamu in Colonial Mozambique, 1964-2013» published by Bloomsbury. Currently, among other investigations, he collaborates with the project «BLEND - Desire, Miscegenation and Violence: the now and then of the Portuguese Colonial War».

First awarded at the 2011 annual meeting, the Martin A. Klein Prize recognizes the most distinguished work of scholarship on African history published in English during the previous year. Focusing primarily on continental Africa (including those islands usually treated as countries of Africa), books on any period of African history and from any disciplinary field that incorporates a historical perspective are eligible. The prize committee pays particular attention to methodological innovation, conceptual originality, literary excellence, and reinterpretation of old themes or development of new theoretical perspectives.
