Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays on Translation by Jeremy Tiang, Kavita Bhanot

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

As a white European translator, I felt really challenged and educated by these essays! I learnt so much about the different forms translation can take, the paths different translators have to translation, the importance for intersectionality specifically within translation, and gained an appreciation for languages and cultures outside my own sphere. I'd recommend this to any student or academic of literature/languages, or anyone looking to learn about the Eurocentrism of translation and/or how translation functions across cultures.
