In the past century, his dastardly plans have driven serialized novels, comic books, films, and TV. Yet this sinister Oriental character represents more than an invincible criminal in pop culture; Fu Manchu became the embodiment of the Yellow Peril. Serial Fu Manchu provides a savvy cultural, historical, and media-based analysis that shows how Fu Manchu's irrepressibility gives shape to-and reinforces-the persistent Yellow Peril myth.

She pays particular attention to the figure's literary foundations, the impact of media changes on his dissemination, and his legacy.
