This is an important and timely collected edition that brings together in a single volume various perspectives on the concept of "Eurocentrism". Leading scholars from Belgium, Canada, South Africa and the USA have contributed their views on this, at times, controversial topic that is under ever closer scrutiny as Translation Studies becomes an increasingly globalized discipline.

This volume is inscribed in the reconfigurations which result from critical positions on the politics of globalization in the translation context. The multiperspectival view offered by <i>Eurocentrism in Translation Studies</i> challenges conventional standpoints both on Europe as a geopolitical space and on the traditional terms that make up the discipline. This stimulating piece of scholarship contributes to deconstructing Eurocentric mindsets through its nuanced arguments and exciting glimpses into translation practices that resist Western dominance.
