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

4.0

Violent Phenomena: 21 essays on Translation is an anthology of writing by 24 contributors featuring a breadth of personal experience with culture, language, translation, publishing, and grappling with colonial and imperial legacies. As the introduction puts it ‘Above all this book is a challenge to inherited assumptions about translators and translations being neutral, making the case that every aspect of translation is political.’ 

If one has an interest in translation and decolonisation pick up this book.
