Ultimately, it is a book about language and power: not only the ways in which power wields language, but also the ways in which language can be used to unseat power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Cleary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501373455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501373459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Heather Cleary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071532527871,"sku":"9781501373459","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c1a535e-b5b8-413b-b209-a5ed3e5394d8.jpg?v=1685436661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-translators-visibility-heather-cleary-9781501373459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
