Translation and Identity

Identity is one of the most important political and cultural issues of our time.

Translation and Identity looks at how translation has played a crucial role in shaping

debates around identity, language and cultural survival in the past and in the present.

The volume explores how everything, from the impact of migration to the

curricula for national literature courses to the way in which nations wage war in

the modern era, is bound up with urgent questions of translation and identity. The

book examines translation practices and experiences across continents to show

how translation is an integral part of how cultures are evolving, offering new per-

spectives on how translation can be a powerful tool both to enhance difference

and to promote intercultural dialogue.

Drawing on a wide range of materials from official government reports to

Shakespearean drama to Hollywood ﬁlms, Translation and Identity demonstrates

that translation is central to any proper understanding of the emergence of cultural

identity in human history, and offers an innovative and positive vision of the way

in which translation can be used to deal with one of the most salient issues in an

increasingly borderless world.
