Reviews

Ideology, Ethics and Policy Development in Public Service Interpreting and Translation is a wonderful contribution to Interpreting Studies, because it brings together the world of academia (current research exploring ideological, policy-making and ethical issues) and voices from the field, thus consolidating theory and practice.

Revealing the imbrication of ideological and ethical issues in PSI, this book presents an enlightening collection of articles that offer new insights into the conceptualization and understanding of public service interpreting policies, the contexts in which these are implemented and resulting practices.

This formidable collection is a significant contribution to research and teaching. New ground is explored as the authors focus on the interconnections between the concepts of ethics and ideology, as well as the far-reaching implications for policy development within the social and political contexts in which it is embedded. Truly a compelling and engaging volume.
