So thrilled to see an entire chapter on Translators Aloud in TRANSLATION AS ADVOCACY, out soon from John Murray Press! A million thanks to Katie Brown.

very frustrating when you know that a press that gets a lot of acclaim/prizes for publishing great work behaves incredibly badly behind the scenes towards its translators 😤

Translators Aloud's NBG playlist has 9,800 views of 58 readings

Many thanks to all #translators who have taken the time to read for the channel! What a stellar selection to browse!

Just as we’re starting to get somewhere in convincing people that literary translation is an art that we also derive pleasure from, we’re about to hit ‘can you just edit this mess?’

Translation and Race by Corine Tachtiris is available in open access: taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/…
“This book explores the 'unbearable whiteness of translation' in the West that excludes scholars and translators of color from the field and also upholds racial inequities more broadly.”

'It has the feeling of a true crime novel, but given literary licence to expand on the facts to tell the story, Drucaroff has written a dramatic account that still feels very real indeed' says Annabel Gaskell #RodolfoWalsh
