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。

Saltair shimmer
Scent: Sandalwood
Nice on the body. Easy to apply. I use it with my lotion for an all over glowy shimmer. It will be very nice in the summer. Nice scent, no irritation.

Buy it you won’t be disappointed
Scent: Sandalwood
I love it already and I haven’t applied it directly to my full body after a shower as instructed but from what I did apply it’s whatever it says it is . It eats down ok, skin softness, moisturizing , the shimmer is just enough , the scent is soft and smells incredibly great. Smells like a fresh shower lol it’s not thick consistency at all and just the right amount of oiliness to add shine to the body. I can’t wait to use this product fully .

Lovely subtle shine, wonderful scent
Scent: Sandalwood
LOVE this shimmer oil. Has a lovely subtle copper/rose gold when used lightly. The shimmer gets more pronounced the more you use, but never obnoxious. The oil absorbs well and fully on damp skin, but I usually use it before going out for the day on dry skin, and it works just as well. The nozzle produces a generous amount with each squirt and has yet to clog or stop up as with some shimmer oils. The oil leaves the skin moisturized and glowy. The shimmer does not rub off easily on clothing and other fabrics. The scent is just amazing. If you have the regular oil, this smells just as amazing. It’s hard to describe…a gorgeous floral smell, but not grandma’s lilly or lavender smell. Just sexy. If sexy and summer, and feminine had a smell, this would be it. Yummy and inherently woman. Get this oil for some shimmer and a splash of confidence.
