{"product_id":"born-in-the-blood-brian-swann-9780803267596","title":"Born in the Blood: On Native American Translation","description":"Since Europeans first encountered Native Americans, problems relating to language and text translation have been an issue. Translators needed to create the tools for translation, such as dictionaries, still a difficult undertaking today. Although the fact that many Native languages do not share even the same structures or classes of words as European languages has always made translation difficult, translating cultural values and perceptions into the idiom of another culture renders the process even more difficult. In \u003ci\u003eBorn in the Blood\u003c\/i\u003e, noted translator and writer Brian Swann gathers some of the foremost scholars in the field of Native American translation to address the many and varied problems and concerns surrounding the process of translating Native American languages and texts. The essays in this collection address such important questions as, what should be translated? how should it be translated? who should do translation? and even, should the translation of Native literature be done at all? This volume also includes translations of songs and stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Swann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803267592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803267596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Brian Swann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44566892773631,"sku":"9780803267596","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9078e1a0-0cc9-4aa9-88aa-35598cdbc2a3.jpg?v=1701374943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/born-in-the-blood-brian-swann-9780803267596","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
