Naming No Man's Land

More about the book

Focusing on the politics and poetics of renaming colonial placenames to Indigenous ones, this practice-based exploration draws on case studies from Western Australia. It engages with international critical toponymy theory and traditional etymological methods, highlighting the complexities of meaning, reference, and cultural equivalence involved in the renaming process. The author emphasizes how these changes provoke essential discussions about identity and representation within the context of post-colonial discourse.
