◎演講摘要:In their earliest encounters with Asia, Europeans almost
uniformly characterized the people of China and Japan as white.
This was a means of describing their wealth and sophistication,
their willingness to trade with the West, and their presumed
capacity to become Christianized. But by the end of the
seventeenth century the category of whiteness was reserved for
Europeans only. When and how did Asians become "yellow" in the
Western imagination?
Looking at the history of racial thinking, Becoming Yellow
explores the notion of yellowness and shows that this label
originated not in early travel texts or objective descriptions,
but in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scientific
discourses on race.
