It discusses how various political factors, such as conflicts, gender inequalities, and class differences, influence the naming of places at local, national, regional, and global scales. The book highlights the shift in the academic community's attention towards the political aspect of place names since the 1980s and the emergence of "critical toponymy" as a field of study. It also presents theoretical variations in critical toponymy literature, emphasizing the multiplicity and heterogeneity of power relations involved in place-naming processes. The book includes chapters that examine place-naming processes in different contexts and geographies, showcasing the complexity of relationships between state authorities, local people, and other factors. It also explores the potential connections between critical toponymy and subfields of human geography. Overall, the book provides valuable insights for researchers interested in studying the political dimension of place names and offers a diverse range of topics and contexts for further exploration. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
