The "yellow peril" is one of the oldest and most pervasive racist
ideas in Western culture-dating back to the birth of European
colonialism during the Enlightenment. Yet while Fu Manchu looks
almost quaint today, the prejudices that gave him life persist in
modern culture. Yellow Peril! is the first comprehensive repository
of anti-Asian images and writing, and it surveys the extent of this
iniquitous form of paranoia. Written by two dedicated scholars and
replete with paintings, photographs, and images drawn from pulp
novels, posters, comics, theatrical productions, movies,
propagandistic and pseudo-scholarly literature, and a varied world
of pop culture ephemera, this is both a unique and fascinating
archive and a modern analysis of this crucial historical formation.
