Curaçao

Römer, René, Curaçao, Curaçao: Association of Caribbean Universities and Research Institutes [UNICA], 1981.

Reviewed in Hispanic American Historical Review (1982) 62 (4): 730.

From the Foreword by Leito, B. M., Governor of the Netherlands Antilles:

Un Pueblo Na Kaminda – a People on the Move: an apt title for a study of the evolution of the population of the island of Curaçao from the coming of the first settlers from overseas to its present day composition, with a look into the future. I consider this study by Dr. René Römer so important because it gives the reader an idea of the genesis of our remarkable, extremely mixed society. In my opinion, variety is perhaps the most typical feature of the society of Curaçao: this variety is expressed in the different shades of skin colour, the other racial characteristics, religious confessions, the many languages spoken by groups and families, and many other aspects of social life on the island.

Extracts from wife’s obituary:

Bill and Eileen lived in Aruba from 1951 to 1964. Bill was one of the first persons to receive the Aruba Goodwill Ambassador Award (in 1964), not for visiting Aruba frequently, but in recognition of his good deeds for the youth of Aruba. (…) …her husband, and onetime cadet, served as a US Navy pilot in Greenland during the latter years of World War II.

The Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) comprises not only historians living and working in the Caribbean but also scholars working in Caribbean history, and previous conferences of the ACH have been attended by historians from a.o. Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Canada and the United States. The 1978 conference had 57 participants, representing at least 31 institutions, the majority of which in various Caribbean territories. Eight panels were organised around selected topics in Caribbean history - many of which had quite obviously some relation to the history of European expansion. A total of 25 papers were presented on: Amerindians in Guyana (2) Caribbean emigrants to Africa, the United States and Canada (3) French colonial politics (2) War and the Caribbean (5) Public policy and private economy in the Caribbean (3) Aspects of Virgin Islands history (5) Aspects of slavery in the Caribbean (2)

Race and Class in Political Perspective: The Case of Frente Obrero [Separata]

Römer, René A., Race and Class in Political Perspective: The Case of Frente Obrero, Kristòf, vol. 2, nr 6, december, 1975, pp. 253 – 263. (2 copies)

The Workers' Liberation Front (Dutch: Arbeiders Bevrijdingsfront, Papiamento: Frente Obrero Liberashon, FOL), officially the 30th of May Workers' Liberation Front Party:

The party was founded in 1969 and named after the riots/uprising of 30 May. When Wilson Godett and Stanley Brown were elected in the Estates of the Netherlands Antilles, they were still in jail for their connections with the riots; but their upcoming membership in the Estates set them free.[1] During the 2002 and 2006 elections respectively, the party won 5 and 2 of the 14 Curaçao-seats in the 22 seat Estates of the Netherlands Antilles,[4][5] but during the 2010 election the party failed to obtain any seats.[6]

René Antonio Römer (2 July 1929, Willemstad, Curaçao – 25 February 2003, Curaçao)[1] was Governor of the Netherlands Antilles from 1983 to 1989. He was also a professor of sociology at the University of the Netherlands Antilles and at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

René Römer: Striking a Path, Creating a Legacy, Extract from the Introductory chapter in René Römer als inspirator: actualiseringen van zijn gedachtegoed. Curaçao: University of the Netherlands Antilles, 2006:9 – 15:

René Antonio Römer had an incredibly varied career, working in the areas of civil service, policy making, advising, writing, and education. He studied Political and Social Sciences at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. In 1977 he obtained his doctorate in the Netherlands from the Rijksuniversiteit, the Royal University of Leiden, after defending his dissertation Een volk op weg, “A People in the Making”. The published version has become a standard reference: Een volk op weg; un pueblo na kaminda, a title that makes visible one of the realities of the Curaçaoan scholar: living in a foreign scholarly tradition while creating a more indigenous framework for understanding ourselves. The title is the original Dutch of the dissertation, and its Papiamentu translation. Whereas this work is seen as one of his strongest contributions to the sociology of Curaçao, his list of publications includes over 100 books, articles, and papers on Curaçao, the Netherlands Antilles, and Dutch Antillean relations
