The “AlterNative” Frontier: Native Canadian Writing in German/y
From: Translating Canada
$3.20
This chapter undertakes an empirical survey of existing German Translations of Canadian First Nations literature. In addition, it explores the reciprocal influence that the image of “the Indian” and the literature appearing in German translation exert on each other, trying to detect possible underlying patterns in the selection of literature by Native Canadian writers for translation.
