In The Familiar Made Strange, twelve distinguished historians offer
original and playful readings of American icons and artifacts that
cut across rather than stop at the nation's borders to model new
interpretive approaches to studying United States history. These
leading practitioners of the "transnational turn" pause to consider
such famous icons as John Singleton Copley's painting Watson and
the Shark, Alfred Eisenstaedt's photograph V-J Day, 1945, Times
Square, and Alfred Kinsey's reports on sexual behavior, as well as
more surprising but revealing artifacts like Josephine Baker's
banana skirt and William Howard Taft's underpants. Together, they
present a road map to the varying scales, angles and methods of
transnational analysis that shed light on American politics,
empire, gender, and the operation of power in everyday
life.Contributors: Brooke L. Blower, Boston University; Mark Philip
