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。

Works Great but the price is rising!
Anua Azelaic Acid is a very good serum. Both my daughter and I use it regularly. My daughter has severe rosacea, and this has helped calm her skin significantly her redness is almost gone. For me, it has also made a noticeable difference by reducing redness and giving my skin a healthy glow. We both use it at night, and it’s definitely very soothing and calming. The formula is gentle, lightweight, and works really well for sensitive skin without causing irritation. However, the only downside is the price, it seems to have increased quite a bit recently, which is concerning. I bought a couple during Amazon Prime Day, which worked out really well. For a relatively simple azelaic acid serum, the price increase feels a bit steep. If the price continues to rise, I may need to look for a more budget-friendly alternative. Otherwise, it’s a really great serum that delivers great results.

DERM APPROVED!
I am obsessed with this product!! This feels very luxurious on my skin and does not pill like other products I have had in the past. I have noticed a significant improvement in the background redness in my skin. As someone who works in derm and values good ingredients and products that actually work... I can confidently say that this is the best OTC azelaic acid product I have tried out. It sits very nicely under my moisturizer and does not dehydrate my skin like other azelaic acid products have done in the past. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A Game Changer for Sensitive Skin
I use this serum every single day, and it has become one of the most important products in my skincare routine. I have very sensitive skin and cannot tolerate stronger active ingredients such as retinol or high-strength acids, so finding something effective but gentle has been incredibly important. This serum has helped calm redness, reduce inflammation, and noticeably improve my skin’s overall appearance and comfort. After dealing with a prolonged inflammatory skin condition, this product made a significant difference and helped restore my skin barrier. The formula feels soothing, hydrating, and non-irritating. If you have sensitive or reactive skin and are looking for a gentle product to help with redness and uneven texture, I highly recommend giving this serum a try. Photos attached: The green bottle is the product and the second photo includes my favorite additions.

Perfect for Acne-Prone Skin!
This serum has honestly been a great addition to my routine for redness and post-acne marks. The texture is lightweight, hydrating, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on my oily/acne-prone skin. I have sensitive skin with a focus on barrier protection, and this didn’t irritate my skin at all. It layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare and leaves my skin looking calmer and smoother over time. AND, it doesn’t have a smell!! Definitely one of my favorite azelaic acid serums I’ve tried.

6-Month Update: Still a staple for sensitive, acne-prone skin
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I originally reviewed this ampoule when I first started using it, and now after about six months of consistent use (morning and night), I feel confident giving a more long-term update. I have sensitive, acne-prone, combination skin, and this has remained one of the most reliable products in my routine. The texture is still one of my favorite things about it — very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen without pilling. Over time, I’ve noticed: Less visible redness More balanced oil production in my T-zone Fewer irritation flare-ups when introducing new products No clogged pores or breakouts from this formula It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky, even in humid weather. I’ve continued repurchasing and even keep it on subscription because it consistently performs without causing sensitivity. If you’re looking for a gentle, soothing centella product that works well for long-term barrier support, this has proven to be a dependable option in my experience.
