This volume of critical essays focuses on a variety of translation theories and practices, their strengths and limitations, their overlaps and differences in relation to multilingual post-colonial societies. Systematically divided into four interrelated sections, it critiques the specific nature and function of this problematic, and contextualizes its potential for the perpetuation of existing power structures and hierarchies. The major areas of discussion in this study include extensive evaluations of multilingualism, colonialism and translation, language dominance and its impact on minority languages, organic and structural pluralism, impact of language policy and planning on translation, cultural politics and translation, translation as assimilation/ appropriation and subversion, and translation of technical texts from Sanskrit. At once lucid and engaging, the book highlights the significance of “translation activity as policy, as prioritization, as empowerment, as enrichment and as culture learning within post-colonial contexts,” and stresses the unmistakable need to redefine and relocate its theory and practice all over again.
