For Better or for WorseTranslation as a Tool for Change in the South Pacific\nAuthor(s): Sabine Fenton\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: St Jerome Publishing, United Kingdom\nImprint: St Jerome Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781900650670, 978-1900650670\nSynopsis\nThe essays in this book explore the vital role translation has played in defining, changing and redefining linguistic, cultural, ethnic and political identities in several nations of the South Pacific.\n\nWhile in other parts of the world postcolonial scholars have scrutinized the role and history of translation and exposed its close relationship with the colonizers, this has not yet happened in the specific region covered in this collection. In translation studies the Pacific region is terra incognita.\n\nThe writers of this volume of essays reveal that in the Pacific, as in all other once colonized parts of the world, colonialism and translation went hand in hand. The unsettling power of translation is described as it effected change.
