作者: 西敏司  |  譯者: 李祐寧


       
一杯英式下午茶中的一小匙糖,
是奴役勞工的帝國擴張標誌;
更是資本主義全球化的推手,
恆久改變了你我所處世界的政經發展。
 
蔗糖如何改寫世界權力版圖,推動資本主義全球化?
 
★一部探索「糖」對人類文明影響的不朽傑作★
 
  「我希望能藉由糖,讓讀者看見更廣闊的世界,解釋其如何長久且持續地改變了人類、社會與物質之間的關係。」──飲食人類學之父.西敏司
 
  ★2020年博客來、誠品、香港誠品三冠選書
  ★美國人類學協會最高獎項「法蘭茲.鮑亞士獎」得主,凝鍊畢生研究精華的傳世傑作
  ★具有全球視野的飲食文化經典
 
  曾幾何時,「哪裡有糖,哪裡就有奴隸」,糖甚至是貴族表徵身分、地位的奢侈品,但如今糖卻隨手可得、有些人更食糖過量。而此種「庶民化」轉變,其實是近代世界經濟體系與現代資本主義發展的結果──
 
  .英國殖民體制如何生產和消費蔗糖,並揭示了何種權力結構?
  .英國人對糖的熱愛,是否因此傷害了英國菜,使其成為「黑暗料理之王」?
  .為何婚宴、特殊節慶上會食用甜食? 
  .是什麼力量,讓原為奢侈品的糖,成為所有人的日常生活必需品?
  .人們如何養成固定攝取、且依賴大量甜味的習慣?
  .食物如何體現國家統治者的意願和利益?
  .為什麼對糖的需求量會成長得如此劇烈且持續數世紀之久?
 
  隨著帝國擴張、現代經濟體系誕生、運輸方式革新、化工技術不斷演進……
  從奴役到解放、從貴族到庶民,
  對糖的需求,揭開資本主義全球化的序幕;
  對甜的渴望,勾勒出國際政治的權力網絡──
 
  作為飲食與文化研究的領軍人物,西敏司以突破性的視野,對微小的「糖」進行歷史探索,不僅探討糖的生產與消費間的權力關係;揭示苛使奴隸的殖民侵略史;追溯社會如何賦予糖意義和象徵內涵──從糖的生產者、消費者、生產地區、消費地區到糖本身,無所不包,其兼具開放視野與細膩觀察、既微觀又宏觀地呈現糖的權力演進,實為具里程碑意義的不朽鉅作。

Right to the point without a lot of wordy fluff!
Format: Imitation Leather
I have tried a few other "daily devotional" books, but they were not what I was looking for in being "to the point" along with giving a couple scripture verses to get my day started. The day I received my copy, the devotion was about Salvation and two of the scriptures were from my two favorite chapters in the Bible. For me, that was a "God Moment"!
