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。

Comfortable shorts!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I ordered these because I wanted some lightweight comfortable shorts for the summer that were now gym shorts. These are very comfortable shorts. Lightweight cotton material that is not stretchy and it breathes well. The size fits exactly as expected according to the measurements. They also have an elastic waistband with drawstring, but also have a button and zipper, which I found odd, but don’t hate. These shorts have two big pockets in the front, large enough for keys and a cell phone. Deep enough to put your entire hand in. The single back pocket is perfect sized for a wallet, and it has a button that secures the pocket, so no losing the wallet in the movie theater or restaurant. The color is a true black, which I’m sure will fade in the future after many washes, but for now, it is dark and black, not like some that look more navy blue than black. The stitching is also done well. These are probably my new favorite pair of shorts that are comfy able enough to wear around the house when just lounging, but also nice enough to wear out to dinner. Well worth the price, will probably buy another pair in a different color soon.

Top-tier quality and fit
Color: Khaki, Size: Large
I'm really impressed with the fit of this shirt it’s true to size and has a great slim-fit cut. The embroidery and fabric quality are excellent, making it look much more expensive than it is. Perfect for any occasion where you want to stand out.

Not bad for the money
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
Not bad for the money, BUT, not high quality fabric (KINDA wrinkles easily, but Ironed nicely.. Stitching was decent.. Only washed one time (inside out and in cold), so it's kinda early to fully rate, but I will not over -wash it...For a musician, it's kinda nice ...Might buy a couple more for the stage👍
