“Cho’s book makes a valuable contribution to the study of sociolinguistics, translation and interpreting, and the relationship between language and globalisation. Graduate students and scholars will find the book both original and accessible. … The rich vignettes of the interpreters’ experiences make this book a most interesting read, and the author has successfully integrated broader issues of language and power with the informants’ stories.” (Hyunjung Shin,Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, May 25, 2019)
