Rezensionen

Interpreters with experience of working in numerous conflicts and their aftermaths have repeatedly called for better training to prepare future language intermediaries for these challenging roles. For the first time, this volume draws together perspectives on interpreter training from a wide spectrum of organisations and conflicts into a collection that anyone who trains, recruits or prepares interpreters to operate in conflict and post-conflict settings should read.

Catherine Baker, University of Hull, UK

"the pioneering volume strongly contributes to our understanding of the essential role of interpreters in conflict and post-conflict scenarios, supported by a fascinating collection of revelations from narratives, surveys, interviews, case studies, and interpreter diaries. Recommendations are made to improve institutional recognition, develop adequate professionalisation support, bridge international criminal justice and non-Western languages and cultures, and ultimately the need to standardise institutional training. With its clear merit of multilingual inclusiveness and geographical diversity, this insightful book is thus an invaluable asset for readers interested in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, interpreting studies, and beyond."
