Opis

Tracing the origins, functions, and implications of the red peril, this study illustrates how historical representations of the Chinese threat continue to limit understanding of U.S.-Sino relations by keeping the nations’ relationship mired in the past.

Recenzje

"This book offers the most comprehensive coverage of four political and media events in the U.S. that constructed China as the red peril rooted in the yellow peril discourse in American history. The book is clearly written, thought-provoking, and timely. It sheds light on how Otherness is rhetorically constructed and how media portrayal shapes public opinions and foreign policies." --Xing Lu, DePaul University, USA
