Arising from cultural anthropology in the late 1980s and early
1990s, postcolonial translation theory is based on the observation
that translation has often served as an important channel of
empire. Douglas Robinson begins with a general presentation of
postcolonial theory, examines current theories of the power
differentials that control what gets translated and how, and traces
the historical development of postcolonial thought about
translation. He also explores the negative and positive impact of
translation in the postcolonial context, reviewing various
critiques of postcolonial translation theory and providing a
glossary of key words. The result is a clear and useful guide to
some of the most complex and critical issues in contemporary
translation studies.
