The address book: what street addresses reveal about identity, race, wealth, and power
(Book)
"An exuberant work of popular history: the story of how streets got their names and houses their numbers, and why something as seemingly mundane as an address can save lives or enforce power. Addresses arose out of a grand Enlightenment project to name and number the streets, but they are also a way for people to be identified and tracked by those in power. The flipside of having an address is not having one, and we see what that means for millions of people today, including those who live in the slums ofKolkata, on the streets of London, or in post-earthquake Haiti"--
