图书描述

This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and international politics in the context of the Greater Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Surinam and the Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution, attacking some populations more severely than others. In particular, yellow fever and malaria attacked newcomers to the region, which helped keep the Spanish Empire Spanish in the face of predatory rivals in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century, these diseases helped revolutions to succeed by decimating forces sent out from Europe to prevent them.

作者思路清晰,行文结构缜密,框架规范合理,简直可以当做相关类型论文的写作范本。话题也很有意思。要说缺点的话,书越到后面新鲜内容越少,因此前面需要精读,后面的大致一看也行……

前面的比较exciting,生态环境与疾病的作用。后面的就是大量的“如果没有黄热病西班牙就xxxx”式的疾病和政治分析了……

第二部分开始会有读不下去的感觉,虽然是环境史,仍然是在回答17-18世界帝国主义海外扩张和19、20世纪拉美第三世界的革命和独立。另外,只有15张手绘地图却没有一张图片,这个对想象力要求有点高啊。

评分

字里行间,感觉McNeill 是一个蛮风趣的教授。“I was then a twenty-five year-old graduate student researching a dissertation, trying to live on $125 a month, lonely and often cold and hungry...”
