Decolonizing Our Names in the 21st Century: Place, Identity, and Agency (Routledge Studies in Modern History) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book combines different decolonial approaches from around the world to offer a roadmap for updating names and naming practices, restoring and protecting precolonial ones, and reimagining or recontextualizing the relationship between place, identity, and names.
In a postcolonial context, naming often serves as a bitter reminder of past harms through commemorative naming practices, whether through a system of baptismal names or a former colony’s approach to dealing with the names that the colonizer left behind. This volume assembles authors who hail from formerly colonized regions of the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia to engage with this problem of decolonizing names in the twenty-first century from a global perspective. The book also points to what strategies have had more success than others while envisioning the tools needed for progress in the future.
Offering a useful framework with approaches that can easily be used across other geographical contexts, this volume is suitable for scholars and students interested in decolonization, identity, and naming practices.
