520    "The Postcolonial Condition of Names and Naming Practices 
       in southern Africa represents a milestone in southern 
       African onomastic studies. The contributors here are all 
       members of, and speakers of, the cultures and languages 
       they write about, and, together, they speak with an 
       authentic African voice on naming issues in the southern 
       part of the African continent. The volume's overarching 
       thesis is that names are important yet often 
       underestimated socio-politico-cultural sites on which some
       of the most significant events and processes in the post-
       colony can be read. The onomastic topics covered in the 
       book range from the names of traditional healers and male 
       aphrodisiacs to urban landscapes and street naming, from 
       the interface between Chinese and African naming practices
       to the names of bands of musicians and mini-bus taxis. 
       There is a strong section on literary onomastics which 
       explores how names have been variously deployed by 
       southern African fiction writers for certain semantic, 
       aesthetic and ideological effects. The cultures and 
       languages covered in this volume are equally wide-ranging,
       and, while some authors focus on single languages and 
       cultures (for example Thembu, Xhosa, Shona), others look 
       at inter-cultural influences such as the influence of the 
       Portuguese and Chinese languages on Shona naming."--
