Summary

Frantz Fanon wrote in 1961 that 'Decolonisation is always a violent phenomenon,' meaning that the violence of colonialism can only be counteracted in kind. As colonial legacies linger today, what are the ways in which we can disentangle literary translation from its roots in imperial violence? 24 writers and translators from across the world share their ideas and practices for disrupting and decolonising translation.
"For the past few years, I've written and rewritten this line in journals and proposals: literary translation is a tool to make more vivid the relationships between Afro-descendent people in the Americas and around the world." - Layla Benitez James

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of Genly Ai, an envoy from the Ekumen, who travels to the planet Gethen, also known as Winter, to invite them to join the interstellar alliance. Gethen is inhabited by ambisexual beings, a society very different from Genly's, and he struggles to understand their culture and gain their trust. The novel explores themes of cultural difference, communication, and the nature of gender, as Genly navigates the political landscape of the planet, marked by the rivalry between two nations, Karhide and Orgoreyn. The narrative follows Genly's journey as he attempts to establish a connection with the Gethenians and complete his mission, highlighting the importance of empathy and cross-cultural understanding.
