Produktbeschreibung
A groundbreaking scholarly account of translation as a form of resistance in Ukrainian and Czech history, from imperial oppression to Soviet censorship and beyond. In cultures and communities under pressure, whether from a powerful neighbor or a hegemonic ideology, translation becomes a political act.
