Abstract

This handbook provides an overview of literary, cultural, and political translation across a range of activist contexts. The collection offers perspectives on translation and activism from a global perspective, and includes case studies and histories of oppressed and marginalised people from over twenty different languages. The contributions make visible the role of translation in promoting and enabling social change, in promoting equality, in fighting discrimination, in supporting human rights, and in challenging autocracy and injustice across the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, East Asia, the US and Europe.
