Heralding the ideal city of the future to its visitors, the Expo site was perceived by critics as a laboratory for urban and architectural design as well as for cultural exchange, intended to enhance global understanding and international cooperation. This collection of essays brings new critical perspectives to Expo 67, an event that left behind a significant material and imaginative legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume reflect a variety of interdisciplinary approaches and address Expo 67 across a broad spectrum ranging from architecture and film to more ephemeral markers such as postcards, menus, pavilion displays, or the uniforms of the hostesses employed on the site. Collectively, the essays explore issues of nationalism, the interplay of tradition and modernity, twentieth-century discourse about urban experience, and the enduring impact of Expo 67's technological experimentation. \u003cem\u003eExpo 67: Not Just a Souvenir\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling examination of a world's fair that had a profound impact locally, nationally, and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhona Richman Kenneally\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802096492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802096494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Rhona Richman Kenneally","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46401253900543,"sku":"9780802096494","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a87a693-df92-47d3-89e6-79316f6ef24b.jpg?v=1733887178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/expo-67-rhona-richman-kenneally-9780802096494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
