the entries on commemorative street names comprise chapters three, four, and nine; reading the book straight through could therefore result in some tonal whiplash.Organization aside, Critical Toponymies works well as a textbook.The classic papers, in addition to recent work that highlights current approaches, provides a solid resource for the student not yet familiarized with the literature.The clarity of the onomastic examples sets the book up rather well for use in a course that introduces critical theory and problematizing power relations.While these are complicated concepts to grasp, the illustration of such concepts through place-names could be a very useful tool for an educator.The book could also play a role in a course that traces the history of onomasticsas well, of course, as one explicitly about naming practices
