This book examines the World’s Fairs that took place from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1930s, with a particular emphasis on Latin America.It introduces the notion of "cultural world maps" to understand these events as reflections of the global landscape. The fairs played a crucial role in showcasing state and private endeavors, shaping identities, facilitating knowledge exchange, and disseminating objects and ideas. Through innovative approaches, the essays in Latin America and the World’s Fairs, 1867–1939 depart from conventional nation-centric accounts, drawing on insights from cultural history, global and comparative history, as well as exhibition studies.This volume will be of value to students, scholars, as well as general readers interested in Latin American history and social and cultural history.
