Description

Address Book – Deirdre Mask

This book unpacks what street addresses reveal about identity, race, wealth and power. In the light of the ongoing revisiting of history and the re-appraisal of how we view and expose history this book takes in addresses across the globe.

From the chronological numbers of Tokyo to Bobby Sands street in Iran, Deirdre mask uncovers the way streets are created, changed, celebrated or disputed. There are hidden meanings of how we describe where we live and addresses reveal (or hide) the power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn’t, and why.
