Scope and Contents

The Yellow Peril! project was a collaborative blog and website with intention to preserve and recontextualize artifacts from the history of anti-Asian fear in the United States, Europe, and other white dominated cultures. The website was maintained by John Kuo Wei Tchen and Mark Tseng Putterman. It contains Tchen's curriculum for Yellow Peril class; images of digitized artifacts that perpetuate anti-Asian sentiment in Fales and Tamiment collections; and commentaries on Islamophobia, transnational adoption, and other stereotyping of Asians in media. The website was active in 2014-2015. Also includes a rendering of the homepage and a sample page of the website.
