African Classics: Translating Texts, Translated Contexts

TORCH International Fellow Antjie Krog, Professor Nkosinathi Sithole and Professor Chris Dunton, Professor of English and Dean of Humanities at the National University of Lesotho, presented the OUP Africa Pulse series and discussed translation in translated contexts.
