- Abstract
As a media studies scholar, Topinka brings together a media archaeology approach and actor-network theory to argue that race was a key technology in mediating the proliferation of material things in the urban world. Henry Mayhew's I London Labour and the London Poor i (1851) is one of the key texts interrogated by Topinka, for whom Mayhew is a "minor figure who assembled a minor approach to the street", and someone who is frequently cited but rarely read (14). Racing the Street: Race, Rhetoric, and Technology in Metropolitan London, 1840-1900, by Robert J. Topinka; pp. xii + 182.
