The book I read from Cardiff’s Translation section explores linguistic and cultural struggles in the Americas, particularly focusing on issues of translation. It addresses topics like the monolingualism in the USA, Quebec’s linguistic identity, Brazilian cannibalism, and border area challenges. Overall, the book deepened my understanding of translation studies.
