Biography
Kobus Marais is Senior Lecturer in Language Management and Language Practice at the University of the Free State, South Africa.
"Kobus Marias' admirable study of the politics of translation in South Africa is well-grounded philosophically, and it deserves the highest praise for its erudition, methodological rigour, and its passionate plea for the establishment of a coherent research programme to study translation from new theoretical angles and within a pan-African context."
--Stefan Baumgarten, Lecturer in German and Translation Studies, Bangor University, UK
