Routledge Handbook of Translation and Activism
«
"This volume provides a staggering number of much needed and, in many instances, underrepresented voices, perspectives, and trajectories that question, unsettle and reassess the interrelated and largely uncharted connections between translation and activism in the globalized world. The wide-ranging inclusiveness and accessibility of the contributions make of this work a most welcome and inspiring resource for instructors, translators, activists, students, and general readers alike."
Samia Mehrez, American University in Cairo, Egypt
"The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Activism is a mindmover. The translational activists in this volume theorize, witness, and interpret the literary and the vernacular, and transport us to a multitude of spaces globally. Every piece testifies to the possibilities of transformative translation and activism. The editors have created a significant, spirited, and stirring handbook for students, scholars, educators, practitioners, and readers. In an increasingly divided world, where translation and activism are fundamental, this is an indispensable volume for our times."
Nathalie Handal, Columbia University, USA
"A note on the timeliness of the volume’s publication. With the current rise of movements of resistance and abolition, as well as the challenges of living, relating, and organizing under the conditions of a global pandemic, rethinking modes of activism on a transnational scale could not be more relevant. It is encouraging and inspiring to see that activists have for centuries grappled with ways to challenge the status quo in language and across borders, and are continuing to do so in the highly charged present."
Yana Makuwa, Barricade, Sep. 24, 2020
"The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Activism provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on translation and activism. [...] In sum, the 31-chapter volume is certianly of value for translators, activists, students, and researchers who are interested in translation and activism."
Xiaorui Wang, University of Leeds, UK, John Benjamins Publishing Company
