In time for the 2010 Shanghai Expo, The Chinese Experience in U.S. World’s Fairs, a thoroughly researched and the only authoritative book on China’s 109-history in American expositions, is a “must-read.”

Abstract:
China’s 109-year history in U.S. world’s fairs (1876-1984) revealed many things: three different governments represented the country in the gathering; the Chinese governments, citing many reasons, seldom participated in American expositions; Chinese traders and merchants filled the void left by China; like the other ethnic groups displayed at the fair, the Chinese suffered racial discrimination, called “heathens,” “chinks,” “laundrymen,” and other derogatory names; although it was not the only country to do so, China and its merchants, from time to time, donated its pavilion and exhibits to American institutions and individuals. Overall, the American expositions were beneficial to the Chinese.
