- Summary:
- "The Real Truth. A World's Fair 28 July to 19 August 2012 A project by Suzanne Treister at Raven Row over four weekends featuring four keynote speeches within a specially designed theater Saturday 28 July 2012, 5pm Crystal Palaces, Crystal Balls and Crystal-Clear Illusions of Progress: From World's Fairs to the World Wide Web Robert W. Rydell is Professor of History and Director of the Montana Humanities Institute at Montana State University. He has written books that examine the power of the world's fairs to define the modern world, especially to lend legitimacy to America's growing imperial ambitions after the Civil War. Rydell demonstrates ways that international exhibitions reveal intersections between the cultural politics of race, class and gender and afford important insights into the complexities of globalization."-- provided by distributor.
