Contesting Translation, a celebratory edited volume, honours Professor Mona Baker, one of the most influential scholars in translation, interpreting, and intercultural studies. The 11 original chapters were especially commissioned from scholars who have developed enduring personal, professional, and intellectual connections with Baker through her teaching and research.The chapters are framed by a reflective introduction, and clustered into three inter-related sections: "Trajectories and Concepts", "Narratives and Corpora", and "Activism and Solidarity", which together map the routes and approaches that characterize Baker’s oeuvre. Individual chapters offer studies on topics ranging from literary translation, knowledge translation, journalistic translation, and museum translation to political and aspirational translation. Studies are situated in diverse temporal and geographical environments, extending from the seventeenth-century Low Countries to present-day Palestine. Chapters resonate with each other through critical scholarly engagement with the history, discourse, and politics of translation, and through a shared interest in the significance of the stories we tell each other and ourselves.Relevant for students new to translation and interpreting studies as well as established and emerging scholars more familiar with the field’s contours, Contesting Translation is a landmark contribution to a dynamic discipline that has itself been significantly shaped by one of its most forthright and creative scholars.Chapters: Chapter 4 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

“Contesting Translation is a well deserved tribute to a most impressive and inspiring academic career, but beyond that it is a strong testimony to the depth and breadth of contemporary translation studies and the global and inter-generational conversations that nourish it.”-Şebnem Susam-Saraeva, Personal Chair of Translation Studies, University of Edinburgh"This collection is a meaningful tribute to Mona Baker’s dedication to research, teaching, and fostering community within and beyond the boundaries of translation studies. It brings together colleagues whose work has been influenced by her probing insight and unwavering commitment to global justice. Her legacy will continue to inspire scholars and impact ideas for generations."-Moira Inghilleri, Professor and Director of Translation and Interpreting Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
