"Given the constant crises the modern world is facing through globally impactful events … and the new often unofficial, fragmented and ‘urgent’ settings in which interpreting is practiced, Interpreting Conflict: A comparative framework constitutes a welcome and timely addition to the state-of-the-art in conflict, crisis, humanitarian and post-humanitarian interpreting. The book provides valuable insights not just for Translation and Interpreting scholars, but also scholars in Trauma Studies, Memory Studies, as well as Humanitarian Logistics, Refugee Studies and Crisis Management Studies." (Kelly Pasmatzi, New Voices in Translation Studies, Issue 27, 2022)“The case studies contained in this edited volume constitute an excellent compilation for practitioners – not just interpreters and their trainers, but military and humanitarian personnel too, as well as for researchers. Different types of sources, sometimes built by the authors themselves,make up the raw material of most of the research in this volume, always complemented by an arsenal of specialized bibliography.” (Jesús Baigorri-Jalón, Translation Matters, Vol. 4 (1), 2022)
