Reviews

Abdulla's approach to translation as a form of cultural interaction comparable to subversive activity is fresh and intriguing. Central to such activity is tension between curiosity to know the intellectual products the other has put out, and the risks taken in exposure to different cultures. Shakir Mustafa, Northeastern University, USA
