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.
