Antonio (Tony) Romero (1961-2025) – In memoriam

From CLACSO we wish to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Antonio (Tony) Romero, Director of the Chair of Caribbean Studies at the University of Havana.

Tony Romero's academic legacy is extensive, rigorous, and deeply committed to liberating educational processes in both intellectual and political terms. His work was central to raising the profile of the insular Caribbean, analyzing the region, and seeking alternatives for better integration between the Caribbean and Latin America.

For Cuba it is a significant physical loss, although it will always walk alongside critical thinking.

Colleague, friend, we will miss your tireless work. We will continue your legacy.
