1. Among the notable recent examples are Kristin Hoganson, Fighting for American Manhood: How Gender Politics Provoked the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1997); and Marc Gallicchio, Black Internationalism in Asia: The African American Encounter with Japan and China (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2000). The former analyses turn-ofthe-century US imperialism in the context of gender politics at home, while the latter elucidates how African Americans related themselves to east Asian affairs. These monographs help to broaden the study of international affairs by linking internal developments to foreign relations. For additional examples, see Akira Iriye, ‘Internationalizing International History’, in Thomas Bender, ed., Rethinking American History in a Global Age (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002), 47-62.
2. A good recent example is Christina Klein, Cold War Orientalism: Asia in the Middlebrown Imagination, 1945-1961 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003). Here a specialist in American cultural history tries to relate the musical theater of the 1950s and the 1960s to the larger drama of the Cold War.
