Industry Reviews

'This handbook presents and explores translation as a universal social mediator; it is a long-awaited application of sociology in all its forms to the study of translation. Compiled by a culturally diverse group of scholars, it offers fundamental readings on a broad range of sociological approaches to translation studies that reach across the world.'
