Abstract:

At long last community interpreters are coming into their own as
professionals in various parts of the world. At the same time, the
complexity of their practice has been thrown into sharp relief. In
this thought-provoking volume of selected papers from the third
Critical Link conference held in 2001 (Montreal), we see a profession
that is carving out a place for itself amid political adversity,
economic constraints and a host of historical and cultural
conditions. Community interpreters are learning to work better with
governments, courts, police, psychologists, doctors, patients,
refugees, violent offenders, and human rights missions in war-torn
countries. From First Peoples to minority language speakers to former
refugees and members of the Deaf community, interpreters are seeking
out the training, legal protection and credentials they need. They are
standing up to be counted in surveys, reaping the fruits of
specialization and contributing to salient academic discussions on
language, communication and translation studies.
