As colonial legacies linger today, what are the ways in which we can disentangle literary translation from its roots in imperial violence? Various writers and translators from across the world share their ideas and practices for disrupting and decolonizing translation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eef5f341a85f21630051f92/1592767011495-PMTP6G7YIBBTM4DPEK84/The+Heart+of+a+Stranger+cover.jpeg Other Work - The Heart of a Stranger: An Anthology of Exile Literature (Pushkin Press, 2019) In this anthology, arranged by the brilliant André Naffis-Sahely, you can find a selection from my (unpublished) translation of Martha Nasibù’s memoir, Memories of an Ethiopian Princess. Nasibù, once a member of the Ethiopian aristocracy in the early 20th century, writes about the Fascist invasion of her country, the death of her warrior father, and the subsequent years of exile she and her surviving family members endured in Italy, Libya, Greece, and elsewhere.
