Reviews

As much of his material is from southern Africa, notably his home country Zimbabwe, and to a lesser extent South Africa, onomasticians from this part of the world will take delight in seeing something that they already know looked at with a fresh critical lens, and fitted within the single theme of othering. To those from other parts of the world, Ndlovu’s material and the way he has interpreted it, will be an eye-opener. His work is likely to become a standard text on this aspect of naming. Adrian Koopman, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
