The Universitat Jaume I lecturer José Antonio Piqueras has received this year's Casa de las Américas Prize in the historical-social essay category for his book *Moneda y malestar social en Cuba (1790-1902)*. The decision was made in Havana on 28 January.

The Casa de las Américas Prize has been awarded annually since 1960 and is one of the most prestigious competitions in Latin America. Piqueras is the first Spanish author to win the prize in the historical-social essay category, which is open to authors from countries outside the Americas. A total of 1,600 original essays were submitted in the three genres of this year's competition, with 52 historical essays making it to the final round. The jury was made up of intellectuals from Argentina, Peru and Cuba.

José Antonio Piqueras is Professor of Contemporary History, directs the Comparative Social History group at the Universitat Jaume I, a unit associated with the CSIC and CLACSO, and has promoted the UNESCO Chair in Slavery and Afro-descendence granted by this United Nations organisation. He is the author of an extensive work on the history of Cuba and on Spain in the 19th and 20th centuries. He has chaired the Caribbean Economic History Association and has been a visiting professor at several Latin American institutions.
