Reviews

As a balancing and rebalancing of different forces involved in translation to avoid or reduce confrontation, this book of collected essays opens up an exciting way of thinking about how the pushing-hands approach can be further explored and extended and developed by uncovering the mediating translator's dialogic engagement and providing a model for working across temporal and cultural differences in producing carefully balanced translations. - Sun Yi-feng, Professor, Lingnan University
