This book addresses the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of the practice of anarcho-transcreation – when fidelity to the original text is incompatible with a literal translation, and where languages and cultures are inescapable from geopolitics. ‘Flip-over’, bilingual, non-fiction style – with an anarchist, decolonial, feminist and anti-capitalist approach.
