For Professor Norman Girvan

1941 - 2014

The Rodney Family and Walter Rodney Foundation continue to send thoughts, prayers and positive energies to Professor Emeritus Norman Girvan and his family. Dr. Girvan recently suffered a serious injury and is recovering in Havana, Cuba with his family.

Professor Girvan is a leading voice on Caribbean political economy, both regionally and internationally. In the mid 1960’s, he was a member of the CLR James study group in London that included Walter Rodney, Wally Look Lai, Richard Small, Margaret Hope, Selma James and Stanley Greaves, to name a few.

Professor Girvan appeared via Skype at the 10th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium in March 2013. We ask the global community of friends and family to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

The Walter Rodney Foundation is a Founding Contributing Organization to 1804CaribVoices – Pan Caribbean Voices For Integration And Social Justice (www.1804caribvoices.org).
