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 評分当我说这本书是物质文化史的典范时,我的意思是如果你对物质文化史感兴趣的话,尤其是对日常生活中的物质文化(也就是人类学意义上的文化)感兴趣的话,这本书可以说是经典之作了。但是,如果你觉得物质文化史完全是无聊的鸡毛蒜皮,吃什么用什么擦屁股,完全是无关紧要的东西...
