Afterword

Ambe Njoh, Liora Bigon

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This short chapter concludes our team effort of elaborating on the grammar of toponymic expressions in urban Africa, historicise and contextualise their inherent characteristics, ambiguities and tensions, and exposing their capillary power. It calls for further works focusing on the global South, in order to enrich our toponymic insights and historiographies by closing the gap between the northern and the southern hemispheres.
