- W4312455412 abstract "This chapter traces the unfolding of the toponymic politics in George Town, Malaysia in the context of the country’s postcolonial multiculturalism. It investigates the ways in which place names have been imbricated in the larger project of post-Independence nation-building as Malaysia struggles to forge its multicultural identity throughout three key historical periods. First, under the British colonial rule, the streets in the early town plan were named after colonial authorities, places in the Metropole, and other places in the larger British Empire. After the Independence, the government of Malaysia reinstated its national language policy that saw street renaming across Malaysian cities. However, when George Town was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008, local actors crafted a narrative of multiculturalism against the national backdrop of simmering racial antagonism, affirmative action, and Malay dominance. Places and streets in George Town today are re-narrated as embodiment of multicultural ideals, but the renaming, official and colloquial, is not without contestation. By looking at various toponymic sites in this multi-ethic city, the chapter foregrounds the toponymic politics of place names, exposing various levels of conflict: Empire and Colony, dominant and minority races, cartesian cartography and popular perception, official language and everyday parlance." @default.
