A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets. In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times.
Sidney W. Mintz is professor of anthropology at Johns Hopkins University, whose faculty he joined after teaching for two decades at Yale. He is the author of Worker in the Cane, Caribbean Transformations, and Tasting Food, Tasting Freedom: Excursions into Eating, Culture, and the Past, co-author of The People of Puerto Rico, and editor of Slavery, Colonialism and Racism.

评分Anthro211读过,当时比较开眼界,自此开始读食物史和环境史的书…
评分重讀之後的評價差了很多。必須承認在物質文化研究上這本書有極大的方法論價值,至少作為範本把物引入了人類學的主體領域。然而作為單一研究,野心太大,社會史的細節材料梳失頗多,行文中經常提出一兩個很重要的見解卻沒有論據作證。工人階級這樣被關注的對象仍然是被“噤聲”和“代言”的。
评分边看边狂吃甜食,结果看着看着就觉得恶心了。。。
评分《甜与权力》,政治经济学派的人类学经典!只是翻了翻中译稿!
很多友邻已经讲这本书的内容做了很好的概括,我也就不再赘述,这篇文章只是写一下由这本书与另外一本书 欧洲与没有历史的人民 Europe and the People Without History 引发的Michael Taussig 与这两本书的作者Mintz and Wolf的一场争论。 这三位作者都是现代马克思主义人类学...
评分如果问一个人你喜欢甜的食物吗?喜欢吃糖吗?你有没有被我这个怪蜀黍的怪问题雷到囧?但我们,或者大多数人为什么喜欢吃糖,难道仅仅因为它是甜的吗?这个问题好矫情。 Chocolate lady Sidney. W. Mintz就食糖的现代史写下了鸿篇巨著—《Sweetness and Power》(甜蜜与权...
评分在物质生活日益富足的当下,“管不住嘴,迈不开腿”,促使人类体重不断攀升,高血压、糖尿病隐患浮现。即便如此,人类在甜食面前却欲罢不能,这种根深蒂固的嗜甜癖,既有基因的始作俑者,亦有模因的推波助澜。 基因是构建身体的指令。经历过漫长的采集生活和食物短缺的人类,体...

评分-象征价值的穷尽,经济实用功能上升,糖经历了意义被掏空,由奢侈品转为消费品的历程 -女性看上去更喜欢甜食,也许是由于昂贵的蛋白质长期以来为成年男性所独有,妻子和孩子食用糖的比例更大,而逐渐形成的文化因素。
