This book provides a social interpretation of written South African
translation history from the seventeenth century to the present,
considering how trends involving various languages have reflected
ideologies and unequal power relations and focusing attention on
translation's often hidden social operation. Translation is
investigated in relation to colonial mercantilism, scientific
knowledge of extraction, Christian missionary conversion, Islamic
education, various nationalisms, apartheid oppression and the
anti-apartheid struggle, neoliberalism, exclusion and
post-apartheid social transformation by employing Niklas Luhmann's
social systems theory. This book will be an essential resource for
scholars, graduate students, and general readers who are interested
in or work on the history and practice of translation and its
cultural agents in the South African context.
