SUGAR CHANGED THE WORLD: A STORY OF MAGIC, SPICE, SLAVERY, FREEDOM, AND SCIENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 02330017C00022
English Summary/英文概要： When this award-winning husband-and-wife team discovered that they each had sugar in their family history, they were inspired to trace the globe-spanning story of the sweet substance and to seek out the voices of those who led bitter sugar lives. The trail ran like a bright band from religious ceremonies in India to Europe’s Middle Ages, then on to Columbus, who brought the first cane cuttings to the Americas. Sugar was the substance that drove the bloody slave trade and caused the loss of countless lives but it also planted the seeds of revolution that led to freedom in the American colonies, Haiti, and France. With songs, oral histories, maps, and over 80 archival illustrations, here is the story of how one product allows us to see the grand currents of world history in new ways. Time line, source notes, bibliography, and index included.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当这个获奖的夫妻团队发现他们各自的家族历史都和糖有关时，他们受到启发，开始追溯这种甜物质在全球范围内普及的故事。从印度的宗教仪式到欧洲的中世纪，再到哥伦布(他把第一批甘蔗运到了美洲)。糖是驱使血腥的奴隶贸易和造成无数生命丧生的物质，但它也在美国殖民地、海地和法国播下了导致自由的革命种子。通过歌曲、口述历史、地图和80多幅档案插图，我们可以了解一个产品如何让我们通过新的方式看到世界历史的伟大潮流。本书包含了时间线、引用来源注释、书目和索引。(LYR)
