Changing the Terms Translating in the Postcolonial Era

This volume explores the theoretical foundation and undercurrents of translation in diverse postcolonial contexts. In doing so the authors examine complex sequences of intercultural contact and encroachment, fusion, and breach. The impact that history and political relations have had on the role of translation in the evolution of literary and cultural relations is demonstrated and examined in detail. A strength of this collection of essays lies in the various postcolonial contexts it deals with the challenges posed to the commonly held views on postcolonial theory.
