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.

評分祖師爺的書,和Eric Wolf的一樣,沒有想象的好。
評分比起全球史,這本書主要解決的問題還是the rise of capitalism吧,依然是在邏輯上多有不順的消費社會的形成問題/人類學方法很有意思,例如各種講究用途、實踐之類/後麵英文版實在讀不下去就翻中文版瞭????
这本书是一部人类学方面非常有名的著作,是高丙中主编、商务印书馆出版的系列人类学图书之一,主要从糖的角度,讲述了蔗糖的历史、应用的演变,考察了糖与奴隶制、海上霸权、国际贸易、消费习惯与社会文化、资本主义兴起等等的千丝万缕的关系。 全书分为5章,分别从食物、社会...
評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...
評分我们都有过这样的经历,在心情十分低落的时候,吃一块糖,让阴沉的生活多了一丝明媚,也许是心理的作用,也许是糖本身带给我们的愉悦感。糖在我们的生活中早已习以为常,如果不是西敏司这样一本专著,我们已很难去把这种普通日常体验和权力、资本主义这些宏大的事情联系在...
評分-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。
評分此书,从“糖”这“第一种资本主义产品”介入,考察资本主义生产方式和文化权力交织在一起的社会历史变迁。糖由此不再仅仅是一种食物,而是一种介质,折射出资本主义文化的形象。糖的历史有许多种写法,本书是人类学家的写法,与经济史学家穆素洁《中国:糖与社会——农民、...
