About this book
In the light of recent waves of mass immigration, non-professional interpreting and translation (NPIT) is spreading at an unprecedented pace. While as recently as the late 20th century much of the field was a largely uncharted territory, the current proportions of NPIT suggest that the phenomenon is here to stay and needs to be studied with all due academic rigour.
This collection of essays is the first systematic attempt at looking at NPIT in a scholarly and at the same time pragmatic way. Offering multiple methods and perspectives, and covering the diverse contexts in which NPIT takes place, the volume is a welcome turn in an all too often polarized debate in both academic and practitioner circles.

Reviews
Marjory A. Bancroft, in INTERSECT: A Newsletter about Interpreting, Language and Culture,April 28, 2017:
Place your order now: coming in June is the latest collection of research on what is fast becoming an established field of intellectual inquiry--non-professional translation and interpreting. Some of those who are fighting the good fight to professionalize these fields may cringe. But the argument made by researchers is that this field of activity is real--it is here to stay--and it should be studied rigorously. The fact that we are in the midst of the greatest wave of mass immigration in the history of the planet certainly highlights the need for this research, which is both academic and pragmatic.
