Violent Phenomena by Kavita Bhanot (Paperback)

Violent Phenomena, edited by Kavita Bhanot and Jeremy Tiang, is a manifesto in 22 essays that challenges long-standing rules about who translates literature and how. Translators from around the world question the colonial influence on which books and authors reach English readers and by whom they are translated. Blending the personal and the political, the essays imagine a future for translation that better reflects the many voices of world literature.
