Publisher Synopsis
"Once again James Gilbert has combined imaginative archival work with a keen and probing intellect to produce an exemplary piece of cultural history. "Whose Fair?" offers unexpected research discoveries, acute interpretations of what the St. Louis World Fair meant to its diverse groups of visitors, and, finally, a profound meditation on the intersection of experience, memory, and history. A gem of a book."--Gary Gerstle, James G. Stahlman Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Read more...
