1936 Johannesburg Empire Guide Arrives from Australia/ Like Fair Park and looks like Fair Park

This is the cover of the booklet. If you were doing a quick glance you might mistake it for Fair Park. Art Deco was used at expositions in the 1930s to make white racist regimes seem modern and of the future.


 There is a tower to send out beams of light like the 1936 Texas Centennial

 Art Deco buildings at the exhibit. The lower one is very similar in style to buildings at Fair Park.

British Imperialism is so superior with their Art Deco building.

They find the famous ruins in Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia after a British imperialist, very mysterious. Though it is obvious that the people of Zimbabwe in the past build these buildings, they speculate that maybe it is the Queen of Sheba. They find it mysterious because they can't imagine anyone besides white people building these buildings.
