These leading practitioners of the \"transnational turn\" pause to consider such famous icons as John Singleton Copley's painting \u003ci\u003eWatson and the Shark\u003c\/i\u003e, Alfred Eisenstaedt's photograph \u003ci\u003eV-J Day, 1945, Times Square\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Brooke L.
