The collective volume, Translation and Diaspora, explores for the first time in a systematic way diasporic communities as a distinct site of translational activity and highlights how fundamental translational activity has been to the development of diasporas in the USA.
Contrary to the quite extensive research on translation and migration, Translation and Diaspora with its exploration of interlingual translational activity of non-Anglophone émigré communities in the USA places greater emphasis on the dwelling than on the transit, highlighting how translational activity is shaped by the broader socio-economic and political forces that underpin the development of diasporic communities. The collection is organized into sections featuring historical case studies on key venues of diasporic translation―periodicals and publishing houses―and key agents in diasporic translation: translators, editors, and associations. Taken together, the chapters demonstrate how the study of translation can offer unique insights into the relational and constructed nature of national and cultural identities in diasporic communities in the USA and beyond.
Translation and Diaspora will be of interest to scholars in translation studies, as well as to those from related fields such as migration, diaspora and exile studies, comparative literature, and American studies.
