Abstract (en)

Examines the New York World's Fair (1964-1965) as an early attempt to bring together first and third world nations in a cultural forum. Reveals the commercial slant of the fair and its suppression of racial, cultural, and economic differences. Suggests that the fair can serve as a blueprint for understanding patterns of oppression that continue to the present day.
