During the last thirty years, the field of translation has exploded with multiple new theories. Contemporary Translation Theories examines five of new approaches - the translation workshop, the science of translation, translation studies, polysystem theory, and deconstruction - all of which began in the mid -1960s and continue to be influential today.

Using a variety of texts and addressing minority and oppressed groups within cultures, this work highlights by example the cultural role translation policies play in a discriminatory process: the consequences of which can be social marginalization, loss of identity and psychological trauma.
