Reviews

By increasing the visibility of the translation process, Davies aims to raise critical awareness and understanding of this type of textual mediation. The book fulfils this significant mission very convincingly [...]. By drawing attention to the constructed nature of testimony and the discourses surrouding it, [it] makes a crucial case for a more critical understanding of witness discourses and their cultural reception. -- JOURNAL OF MODERN JEWISH STUDIES
