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.

读后感
中国人属于黄种人,为什么有很多皮肤白皙嫩的男女?华夏历史为什么历来崇尚洁白与长大的外形？换句话说，老祖宗到底是崇洋媚外一如今天崇尚混血妆、混血颜、网红脸，还是根本就是崇拜本民族的俊男美女外形？ 回答这个问题之前，我们必须知道华夏的祖先及其上古时期世代通婚的古代...
评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...
评分从小我们耳熟能详，人分三种：白人、黑人，黄种人。我们就是黄种人。 老师这么讲，书中这么说，甚至我现在还能记得起小学五年级《地理》课发的地图册中，三种人地理分布的样子。 我们歌中不也这样唱吗？“……黑眼睛黑头发黄皮肤，永永远远是龙的传人……” 这好像是确信无...

用户评价
西方对东亚人的肤色认定自始至终都带着这某种道德评判，这一歧视性评判因物理人类学的发展而不断固化、成为一种”客观事实“而被普遍接受。而西方眼中低劣的黄色在中国被传统文化重新阐释，作为”炎黄子孙“、”黄河“等一系列意象的延续，最后成为了中过民族认同的一部分得以长久保存。
评分如果有条件看下summary就够了，其中很多介绍古埃及壁画的虽然是比较原创的研究，但是实在提不起兴致来仔细看。
评分篇幅不长，但是读到最后还挺累的……
评分中国人和日本人是怎么变“黄”的。。
评分行文不太能吸引人，但内容很有学术价值
