具體描述

In their earliest encounters with Asia, Europeans almost uniformly characterized the people of China and Japan as white. This was a means of describing their wealth and sophistication, their willingness to trade with the West, and their presumed capacity to become Christianized. But by the end of the seventeenth century the category of whiteness was reserved for Europeans only. When and how did Asians become 'yellow' in the Western imagination? Looking at the history of racial thinking, "Becoming Yellow" explores the notion of yellowness and shows that this label originated not in early travel texts or objective descriptions, but in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scientific discourses on race. From the walls of an ancient Egyptian tomb, which depicted people of varying skin tones including yellow, to the phrase 'yellow peril' at the beginning of the twentieth century in Europe and America, Michael Keevak follows the development of perceptions about race and human difference. He indicates that the conceptual relationship between East Asians and yellow skin did not begin in Chinese culture or Western readings of East Asian cultural symbols, but in anthropological and medical records that described variations in skin color. Eighteenth-century taxonomers such as Carl Linnaeus, as well as Victorian scientists and early anthropologists, assigned colors to all racial groups, and once East Asians were lumped with members of the Mongolian race, they began to be considered yellow. Demonstrating how a racial distinction took root in Europe and traveled internationally, "Becoming Yellow" weaves together multiple narratives to tell the complex history of a problematic term.

評分

人类起源何处仍无定论,目前较多认同的说法是起源于非洲。既然有共同的祖先,那么在最初,人的肤色绝不会是黑白黄这么分明,那肤色的变化就是后来的事。一个说法是,在人类走出非洲分布到地球各地后,由于纬度、海拔等地理上的原因造成气候、日照上的差异,从而带来了肤色上的区别。大...

从小我们耳熟能详,人分三种:白人、黑人,黄种人。我们就是黄种人。 老师这么讲,书中这么说,甚至我现在还能记得起小学五年级《地理》课发的地图册中,三种人地理分布的样子。 我们歌中不也这样唱吗?“……黑眼睛黑头发黄皮肤,永永远远是龙的传人……” 这好像是确信无...

在看到这本书以前,我从来没有质疑过我自己是“黄种人”。即使,我对有色人种歧视非常痛恨,但是这种痛恨只是被浅薄地认为是“黑”与“白”之间的。 像我身边大多数中国人一样,我是完全接受自己是“黄种人”这样的说法的,以至于忽视掉“黄种人”与“黑种人”是没有两样的,都...

对这本书的期待来自于它的副标题“亚洲种族思维简史”,但是事实上这本书跟亚洲种族的思维特性没有太多描写,更多的可称为是一本人类学作品。倒也大开眼界,所以对我来说,这本书还行,但是没到可以推广的地步。 第一点收获很有趣,原来我们中国人并不是一直被认为...

如果有條件看下summary就夠瞭,其中很多介紹古埃及壁畫的雖然是比較原創的研究,但是實在提不起興緻來仔細看。

非常有趣也有價值。但是缺少本土材料:東亞人怎樣自認為是一體並且是黃種人也是值得探討的議題。同樣值得深入探討的是人種意義上的yellow和Asian之間的聯係,以及yellow怎樣在西方和東亞之外的地區(比如印度)用來定義自己和他者。

西方對東亞人的膚色認定自始至終都帶著這某種道德評判,這一歧視性評判因物理人類學的發展而不斷固化、成為一種”客觀事實“而被普遍接受。而西方眼中低劣的黃色在中國被傳統文化重新闡釋,作為”炎黃子孫“、”黃河“等一係列意象的延續,最後成為瞭中過民族認同的一部分得以長久保存。
