Migration Literature in Translation explores the unique case of Latinx literature translated into Spanish, drawing from Latinx studies, sociology, political philosophy, and cultural studies. The book focuses on the translations of works by Helena María Viramontes, Achy Obejas, Daisy Hernández, and Junot Díaz, analysing translation as a social practice. Cussel introduces the "integrated translation critique," a new methodology that examines both the transformation of texts through translation and their reception, while incorporating empirical social research methods. This innovative approach highlights the roles of various agents—scholars, translators, authors, and readers—in shaping Latinx literary texts' mobility and meaning across languages and cultures.
Through qualitative research including focus groups and fieldwork in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S., Cussel sheds light on how transnational readers engage with translated migrant stories. By addressing the cultural, social, and political dimensions of translation, this interdisciplinary work offers a sociological perspective on literary translation. It is essential reading for scholars and students in literary translation studies, Latin American and migration literature, and migration studies.
