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.

讀後感
在物质生活日益富足的当下，“管不住嘴，迈不开腿”，促使人类体重不断攀升，高血压、糖尿病隐患浮现。即便如此，人类在甜食面前却欲罢不能，这种根深蒂固的嗜甜癖，既有基因的始作俑者，亦有模因的推波助澜。 基因是构建身体的指令。经历过漫长的采集生活和食物短缺的人类，体...
評分如果问一个人你喜欢甜的食物吗？喜欢吃糖吗？你有没有被我这个怪蜀黍的怪问题雷到囧？但我们，或者大多数人为什么喜欢吃糖，难道仅仅因为它是甜的吗？这个问题好矫情。 Chocolate lady Sidney. W. Mintz就食糖的现代史写下了鸿篇巨著—《Sweetness and Power》（甜蜜与权...
評分人类学家萨林斯有一句名言：如果西方人原来的主食是狗肉的话，那么他们的粮食生产及耕牛生产将会与现在不同，其国际贸易也将会改变。这个说法予人许多启迪。说实话，如果人类不是那么喜欢甜味的话，近代的资本主义生产方式和世界体系恐怕也会大不一样。 在许多语言中，“酸甜...
用戶評價
祖師爺的書，和Eric Wolf的一樣，沒有想象的好。
评分比起全球史，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????
评分嘛 又是Penguin的書
评分a marvelous account of the material life and the spirit behind it.eventually some truth does lie in the surface of things itself.every move is for some certain reason yet it's tricky who justify the reason in what way.
评分1、4章優秀，intensification和extensification的框架對解釋貴族飲食生活的擴散的啓發性還行，而其背後的權力又如何作用於國傢、不同階層、殖民地之上。早年田園生活對甜味的拒斥來源於夏天水果帶來的腹瀉。其他章節堆砌囉嗦枯燥瞭些（直接念商務翻譯版吧）...人類學理論課和經濟人類學課的老師特捧這本書，個人以為一方麵源自於它給歐洲中心帶來的反思性吧，和Wolf一路的。
