But it has to mean exactly what I said.\" Thus began the ten-year collaboration between Innu elder and activist Tshaukuesh Elizabeth Penashue and Memorial University professor Elizabeth Yeoman that produced the celebrated \u003cem\u003eNitinikiau Innusi: I Keep the Land Alive\u003c\/em\u003e, an English-language edition of Penashue's journals, originally written in Innu-aimun during her decades of struggle for Innu sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExactly What I Said: Translating Words and Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e reflects on that collaboration and what Yeoman learned from it. It is about naming, mapping, and storytelling; about photographs, collaborative authorship, and voice; about walking together on the land and what can be learned along the way. Combining theory with personal narrative, Yeoman weaves together ideas, memories, and experiences--of home and place, of stories and songs, of looking and listening--to interrogate the challenges and ethics of translation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining what it means to relate whole worlds across the boundaries of language, culture, and history, \u003cem\u003eExactly What I Said\u003c\/em\u003e offers an accessible, engaging reflection on respectful and responsible translation and collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Yeoman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887552781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887552786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Manitoba Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023","brand":"Elizabeth Yeoman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059109359871,"sku":"9780887552786","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3799f4e5-f316-4e4d-87d3-f794ead12552.jpg?v=1685056278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exactly-what-i-said-elizabeth-yeoman-9780887552786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
