The author examines how these interpreters were understood and represented by Western governments, militaries, agencies, press and lobby organisations, how the understandings changed over time, and to what extent the representations reflect distinct rationales for intervention/historic relationships with Afghanistan, specific immigration and anti-terrorism policies, and notions of citizenship. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation and interpreting, history, war studies, and migration studies. Hilary Footitt is an Associate Fellow of the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Languages at War,$x2947-5910 606 $aTranslating and interpreting 606 $aPeace 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aLanguage Translation 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aSociology of Migration 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 14$aLanguage Translation. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aSociology of Migration. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 676 $a418.02092 676 $a418.02092 700 $aFootitt$b Hilary$0877829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765478703321 996 $aAfghan Interpreters Through Western Eyes$93644654 997 $aUNINA
