Earlier this month The Chronicle of Higher Education published an article relevant to political/cultural toponymics in “The Chronicle Review,” 6 May 2016, B6-11. It is by Paul Voosen, who titled it “The Oaxaca incident: A geographer’s efforts to map a Mexican village reveal the risks of military entanglement.” The article tells of researchers’ work to map Tiltepec, Oaxaca, including geographical names for the area that only locals know, as well as the difficulties and “entanglements” that the work ran into.
