"Opening a new perspective on transnational anarchism, this book examines the history and politics of translation. Impressive in its geographic scope and richly interdisciplinary, the volume presents the translator-as-shaper as well as disseminator of ideas. Here, the practice of translation is an act of solidarity and resistance as well as integrity and intellectual prowess. Collectively, the editors and outstanding contributors expose a previously hidden field of grassroots activity to celebrate the endeavours of remarkable, forgotten figures and centre translation in anarchist studies".
