Place Names in Africa, 1st ed. 2016 Colonial Urban Legacies, Entangled Histories
Coordonnateur : Bigon Liora
By combining in-depth area studies research ? some of the contributions are of ethnographic quality ? with colonial history, planning history and geography, the authors intend to show that culture matters in research on place names.
This volume goes beyond the recent understanding obtained in critical studies of nomenclature, normally based on lists of official names, that place naming reflects the power of political regimes, nationalism, and ideology.
Provides an in-depth study of place names history and culture in Africa
Highlights the urbanist view on both traditional and recent place naming studies
Embraces a historical naming process accompanying cultural structures
