It is conducted by tracing and analysing place-naming processes, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa during colonial times (British, French, Belgian, Portuguese), with a considerable attention to both the pre-colonial and post-colonial situations..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.. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Colonial Planning History; Cultural Geography; Indigineous and Colonial Naming Legacies; Toponymy in Af | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-32485-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-81297-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-32485-2 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
