The Address Book by Deirdre Mask


This interesting and recently released title ties right into current debates about race and identity as a popular history of how our streets got their names, and how the houses got their numbers. It reveals how your address often can reveal your race or class. This is a lively, well-researched book that is easy to dip into one chapter at a time.
