Translation, Globalisation and Localisation

Reviews / Votes

The book successfully globalizes the research results on translation studies made by domestic Chinese researchers. This anthology excels in its richness and depth thanks to its refreshing views and critical perspectives. Extensive research by each contributor is conspicuous and highly appreciated. All in all, the book stands out as a fine collection of contemporary translation and cross-cultural studies that surely deepens our understanding of the underrepresented Chinese research community. * Ka-wai Yeung, Hang Seng School of Commerce in Linguist List 19.3819 * The book does credit to the editors who present a wide-ranging and comprehensive insight into the international discussion of globalisation and localisation with a focus on China. The book is recommended for its overall quality and its topicality. * Vladimir Khairoulline, Ufa, Russia on www.language-international.net * Translation, Globalisation and Localisation is an important and altogether timely contribution to a greater conversation about the meanings of globalization and cultural translation. * Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, USA * This rich, searching and detailed collection of essays provides fine insight into a cluster of related issues: translation itself, globalization, postcoloniality, hegemony and appropriation, modes of cultural analysis. This fine collection shows how effectively rigorous academic analysis can deepen our understanding of contemporary social realities. * Richard Freadman, Lingnan University, Hong Kong. *
