Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A beautifully written book that takes the reader on a journey, beginning with the author’s interest in the topic through her struggles to create a translation that will empower and change the lives of her readers and the way they see the world. Ergun makes a convincing case for how essential translation is for transnational feminism and provides a unique, behind-the-scenes look at what translations can do. This book left me feeling inspired and even hopeful--a rare experience in these troubling times.”--Kathy Davis, author of
