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 in class, race, ethnic, national, gender, sexuality,
religious and business struggles in society as weapons by ingroups
and outgroups. 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.
Highlighting social power dynamics through onomastics, this book
will be of interest to researchers of onomastics, social
anthropology, sociolinguistics and African culture and history.
