Andres Ramos Mattei

Andrés Antonio ("Tony") Ramos Mattei (5 November 1941 – 11 February 1988) was a Puerto Rican sugar industry historian. He is considered the "undisputed authority" on the subject of Puerto Rico's sugar industry.

Ramos Mattei's career was a multifaceted one, as were his scholarly writings. A student of Puerto Rico in general, he approached insular issues in the broadest possible perspective. His work was often explicitly comparative but with a regional, Caribbean-wide twist in its implications. He was an active member of the Association of Caribbean Historians, where he was instrumental in establishing fruitful interaction between his fellow historians in Puerto Rico and those of other Caribbean nations.

Honors and recognitions In 2009, the Association of Caribbean Historians honored him issuing a professional prize in his honor. He is also recognized at Ponce's Park of Illustrious Ponce Citizens.
