Focusing in the early years of Sidney W Mintz’s career and his ‘anthropological record’, this essay examines aspects of his legacy to the field of Caribbean studies. Using materials from Mintz’s fieldwork in Puerto Rico during the 1940s and 1950s, the author discusses experiences that may have influenced Mintz’s ideas and future scholarship in two specific areas. First, the localized fieldwork in the island’s southern town of Jauca (Santa Isabel), specifically on the plantation, is seen as a launching pad for scale-up thinking into large-scale analysis: from the Caribbean to hemispheric and Atlantic connections. Second, exposure to, and analysis of, complex issues of race during Mintz’s Puerto Rican fieldwork suggest the initial opening to future interventions he made on this topic.

“不到 20 英尺远”:西德尼·W·明茨 (Sidney W Mintz) 的波多黎各实地考察中的加勒比海和种族

本文着眼于西德尼·W·明茨 (Sidney W Mintz) 职业生涯的早期及其“人类学记录”,考察了他在加勒比研究领域的遗产的各个方面。作者使用 Mintz 在 1940 年代和 1950 年代在波多黎各进行的实地考察的材料,讨论了可能影响 Mintz 在两个特定领域的思想和未来学术研究的经历。首先,该岛南部小镇若卡(圣伊莎贝尔)的局部田野调查,特别是种植园,被视为放大思维进入大规模分析的起点:从加勒比海到半球和大西洋的联系。其次,在明茨的波多黎各实地考察期间接触和分析复杂的种族问题表明他对未来就此主题所做的干预初步开放。
