Book Details
This collection brings together eminent contributors to examine some crucial interconnections between post-colonial theory and translation studies. As English becomes an increasingly global language, so more people become multilingual and translation becomes a crucial communicative activity. Whereas traditional thinking about translation saw it as a poor copy of an original, today translation is viewed as an act of invention that produces a new original in another language. The essays in this book, by contributors from Britain, the US, Brazil, India and Canada, explore new perspectives on translation in relation to post-colonial societies. Examining the relationships between language and power across cultural boundaries, this collection reveals the vital role of translation in redefining the meanings of cultural and ethnic identity.
