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 and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting social power dynamics through onomastics, this book will be of interest to researchers of onomastics, social anthropology, sociolinguistics and African culture and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sambulo Ndlovu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367773155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367773151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Sambulo Ndlovu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450046411007,"sku":"9780367773151","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a06f5177-8233-42fa-b424-1743e0f1f5d9.jpg?v=1698502461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/naming-and-othering-in-africa-sambulo-ndlovu-9780367773151","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
