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.

讀後感
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...
評分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...

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...

中國人和日本人是怎麼變“黃”的。。
评分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。
评分篇幅不長，但是讀到最後還挺纍的……

评分主要講“黃種人”、“濛古人種”的概念在近代是如何被發明並且安在東亞（中日）之上的。作者的語言功底不錯，史料相當紮實。如果最後一章關於中國、日本如何接受黃種人觀念的部分能繼續擴展一下，那就更好瞭。這本書讀起來有《東方學》的感覺。
