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.
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????
評分嘛 又是Penguin的書
評分重讀之後的評價差瞭很多。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瞭人類學的主體領域。然而作為單一研究,野心太大,社會史的細節材料梳失頗多,行文中經常提齣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。

評分蔗糖在1650年之前是稀有品,1650-1750是奢侈品,1750-1850是必需品。贸易从重商主义到自由市场的转变,自由意味着选择。。然而当产生这一选择的环境本身不是随意挑选的,选择意味着失去自由。换句话说,人根据其所想所需在吃的方面做出选择,只有参考了人的偏好和渴望,参考了...
