Sinopsis

Translation Impact explores how the act of translation has shaped world history by facilitating knowledge transfer and influencing societies across cultures. Moving beyond the idea of translation as a simple linguistic process, it presents translation as a powerful agent of historical change. The book examines how the interpretation of translated texts has determined which ideas gained traction and how societies evolved, reframing our understanding of historical events. 

 
For example, the book highlights the translation of religious texts and its influence on religious thought, social norms, and political power structures. The book progresses through different sections, starting with religious texts, continuing with scientific and philosophical knowledge, and concluding with legal and political documents. 

 
One intriguing insight is how the translation of Greek and Roman texts into Arabic during the Middle Ages spurred scientific advancements and shaped intellectual discourse. By examining original manuscripts, correspondence, and comparative linguistic analysis, Translation Impact bridges history, linguistics, and cultural studies, offering a novel perspective on the forces that have shaped our globalized world.

    The crisis of the world capitalist system and that of the Philippine ruling system have become worse than in any period after World War II. The US-instigated policies of neoliberal globalization, state terrorism and aggressive war have wrought havoc on the lives of the people and continue to escalate oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people cannot tolerate their suffering and they are fighting back against imperialism and all reaction. 
      
    The loss or erosion of livelihoods is the most concrete and widespread impact of the current crisis of the world capitalist system on people's lives, both in the advanced capitalist countries as well as in the underdeveloped countries. Despite recent pronouncements from state officials and the business press that economic recovery is in sight, the global economy continues to tumble with the gross domestic product of the leading capitalist countries still contracting, consumer spending still in decline and unemployment still rising.

    First published as a print collection in 1992, when the writer lived in the UK, Rotten Pomerack now - with “voiceprint” - more clearly presents the writer’s voice and instinct for storytelling. Poem stories move from the Caribbean and other places to the UK, often examining the paradoxes and complexities of existence. For the print publication, Michael Horowitz commented that the collection was about “the proverbial slipping on a ‘rotten pomerack’ (French Creole for the cashew fruit) which can make events take an unexpected turn.
