Considering children's literature as a powerful repository for
creating and proliferating cultural and national identities, this
monograph is the first academic study of children's literature in
translation from the Western Balkans. Marija Todorova looks at a
broad range of children's literature, from fiction to creative
non-fiction and picture books, across five different countries in
the Western Balkans, with each chapter including detailed textual
and visual analysis through the predominant lens of violence. These
chapters raise questions around who initiates and effectuates the
selection of children's literature from the Western Balkans for
translation into English, and interrogate the role of different
stakeholders, such as translators, publishers and cultural
institutions in the representation and construction of these
countries in translated children's literature, both in text and
visually. Given the combination of this study's interdisciplinary
nature and Todorova's detailed analysis, this book will prove to be
an essential resource for professional translators, researchers and
students in courses in translation studies, children's literature
or area studies, especially that of countries in the Western
Balkans. .
