Description

When sanctions prohibited local use of racially, ethnically, and scatalogically offensive toponyms, names like Jap Valley, California, were erased from the national and cultural map forever. This title considers the efforts to computerize mapmaking, standardize geographic names, and respond to public concern over ethnically offensive appellations.
