About this book
Reviews
“This extremely absorbing volume is a huge wake-up call for all organisations involved in trying to ensure effective communication and mediation during local and international states of emergency. The eight chapters, all by respected translation scholars, scrutinize practices, protocols and trainings in a wide variety of areas, from the UN, government, military, NGO, hospital, down to the mediators/ translators/ interpreters themselves; and each chapter is enriched with pertinent and extremely useful field work examples.” (David Katan, Professor, Università del Salento, Italy)
