<i>Constructing a Sociology of Translation</i> is an important contribution to the improvement of the conjunction of translation studies and sociology on a methodological basis. What is distinctive about this book is that it draws on the theories of significant sociologists in setting up a theoretical framework for a sociology of translation. The originality of the book stems from its interdisciplinary approach that helps the reader scrutinise the translator's position in a nascent sociology of translation. Each article is smart, cogent and thorough, and the volume will most certainly become a key text in helping scholars navigate a sociologically inspired meta-discussion of translation studies. [...] All in all, <i>Constructing a Sociology of Translation</i> is a rich source of theory and practice regarding an emerging sociology of translation studies. It is very well written and easy to read. It will be extremely useful as a reliable source of information for students and scholars in translation studies, besides being of interest to anyone who is curious about sociology.

This book is a valuable contribution to the emerging field of the sociology of translation. The thorough introduction by Michaela Wolf situates the book within past and present Translation Studies, and the contributions offer stimulating ideas of routes to explore further in the future. Recommended reading for anyone interested in the social aspects of translating.

- Kaisa Koskinen, University of Tampere, Finland,

This book raises many important questions about translation and Translation Studies as a social practice [...] The book is a very welcome contribution and the most convincing proof to date of the emergence of a social (and sociological) turn in Translation Studies.
