The Palgrave Handbook of Languages and Conflict “This book should be mandatory reading for all professionals and academics concerned with war and conflict. Differences of culture that are transported by different languages are often hidden from sight by the ubiquitous use of English in academia and international organisations. Like the discovery of microbes with the microscope, this light shone on languages and what is lost in translation should fundamentally change assumptions and behaviour.” —Beatrice Heuser, Professor of International Relations & Politics, University of Glasgow, UK “We live in a world of globalised communication and institutions, but also of unpredictability and conflict. In armed conflict, the role of languages and language experts, of interpreters and translators, is at last becoming recognised. This much-needed handbook gives a comprehensive and authoritative guide to language and conflict. It is a crucial go-to source for established scholars and students in translation studies and linguistics, war studies and history, cultural and gender studies, and related fields.” —Francis Jones, Professor of Translation Studies, Newcastle University, UK
