The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power

byDeirdre Mask

The Address Book examines what Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power, combining Deirdre Mask's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
