The great International Expositions of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries brought together the world's political,
intellectual, and industrial leaders for the exchange of
information and ideas. They also promoted specific cultural values
and belief systems. In this book, Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr. looks
specifically at the educational exhibits at the 1876 Philadelphia
Centennial Exhibition, the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and
the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In doing so, he
demonstrates how the educational exhibits functioned as critical
transfer points for the exchange of educational ideas and
innovations between Europe, Asia, and the United States. In
addition, he examines how many of the exhibits reflected a dominant
Western hegemony and racist assumptions about the superiority of
Western culture and education.
