"When most people think about street addresses, if they think of them at all, it is in their capacity to ensure that the postman can deliver mail or a traveler won't get lost. But street addresses were not created to help you find your way; they were created to find you. The modern project to name and number our streets arose out of a revolution in how we live -- a revolution that now means your address can often reveal your race or class. In this wide-ranging and remarkable book, Deirdre Mask explores the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King Jr., the wayfinding means of ancient Romans, and how Nazis haunt the streets of modern Germany. She also reveals what not having an address means for millions of people around the world, whether it's in the slums of Kolkata or the parks of London."--,Provided by publisher.
