Rezensionen

This book is an excellent account of the interface between interpreting and intercultural communication. It provides valuable insights into the difficult choices interpreters face in the fields of business, health care, education and the courtroom. Readers are given the opportunity to reflect on how they themselves would act in the intercultural interpreting dilemmas described in this book.

Juliane House, Hamburg University, Germany

Overall, this book is a meaningful exploration of interpreter-mediated communication and
represents a major contribution to the growing body of research on the interpreter's visibility and role in
intercultural communication. [...] The book's exploration of power relations in the various fields of communication is especially insightful, in that it sheds light on how and why intercultural communication breakdowns occur and how interpreters can make up for them in the face of power imbalances and cultural clashes.

Cuiling Zhang, University of Science and Technology Beijing, International Journal of Communication

"This book is a must-have for anyone who would like to take their cultural understanding and appreciation of power relations in communication to the next level."
