This book examines the role of the translator as a politically
active one, with the potential to change the outcome of political,
religious and social events. The contributors examine the effect of
translation and intervention in a range of issues and case studies
including the role of translation in the South African courtroom,
Spanish religious publishing, Chinese rhetoric, and Arabic
political interviews and speeches. The result is a comprehensive
examination of this key question in translation studies: how can
the translator avoid becoming a participant in the discourse he or
she translates? "Intervention in Translating and Interpreting" is a
fascinating collection of essays discussing this most central of
topics in translation studies. It will be of interest to
postgraduates and academics researching in this area.
