Reviews

Showing a predominantly theoretical and philosophical orientation, Translating Values gives food for thought about abstract notions such as culture as an identity shaper, or the burning issue of our stance towards alterity. ... Translating Values might find its place on the reading lists of cultural and translation studies scholars. (Andrea Stojilkov, Target, Vol. 29 (2), 2017)
