Decentering Translation Studies: India and beyond / Edited by Judy Wakabayashi, Rita Kothari - 1st edition - Orient Black Swan, Hyderabad: 014 - xiii, 223 pages, 24cm.

This book foregrounds practices and discourses of translation in several non - Western traditions. Translation Studies currently reflects the historiography and concerns of Anglo - American and European scholars, overlooking the full richness of translational activities and diverse discourses. The essays in this book, which generally have a historical slant, help push back the geographical and conceptual boundaries of the discipline. They illustrate how distinctive historical, social and philosophical contexts have shaped the ways in which translational acts are defined, performed, viewed, encouraged or suppressed in different linguistic communities. The volume has a particular focus on the multiple contexts of translation in India, but also encompasses translation in Korea, Japan and South Africa, as well as representations of Sufism in different contexts.
