4.9/5 (12978 ratings)

Description:This book examines how names in Africa have been fashioned to create dominance and subjugation, inclusion and exclusion, others and self.Drawing on global and African examples, but with particular reference to Zimbabwe, the author demonstrates how names are used as weapons by in-groups and out-groups in class, race, ethnic, national, gender, sexuality, religious and business struggles in society. Using Othering theory as a framework, the chapters explore themes such as globalised names and their demonstration of the other, onomastic erasure in colonial naming and the subsequent decoloniality in African name changes, othering of women in onomastics and crude and sophisticated phaulisms in the areas of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, sexuality.Highlighting social power dynamics through onomastics, this book will be of interest to researchers of onomastics, social anthropology, sociolinguistics and African culture and history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
