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
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...
評分 評分在看到这本书以前，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...
評分西方人對「黃色」的看法並非來自中國，也絕非是源遠流長的固定歷史概念，它比較是西方科學作為保護「白種人」所發展出來的一種技術性描述，也就是：「黃種人」這概念，源自於近代歷史變化過程中的種族偏見，這與我們自稱的炎黃子孫、黃河文明並無關係。 這本書描述「黃種人」...
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...
