Summary:	Race talk is about language as an antiracist practice in multicultural city spaces. The book contends that attention to talk reveals the relations of domination and subordination between different social groups and draws on original ethnographic work conducted on licensed and unlicensed market stalls in Naples. Here, Neapolitan street vendors work alongside documented and undocumented migrants as part of an ambivalent and unequal quest to survive and prosper and reveal the transformation that globalised migration has had on local economic, cultural and political life. Different sorts of multilingual talk are central to everyday struggles about difference, positionality and entitlement. Furthermore, as austerity, anti-immigration politics and urban regeneration projects encroach upon the possibilities of street vending, talk across linguistic, cultural, legal and religious boundaries underpins the collective action of street vendors struggling to keep their markets open.
