Abstract
In postcolonial literary studies the dominant emphasis has been on literature written in English, with the consequence that writing in the “vernacular” has been consistently marginalized. Literary traditions in local languages have not only flourished within national boundaries, they have related to social and political histories in significant ways. There is a need to bridge this gap through translations into English and across languages. In addition to fostering a context that promotes more translations, postcolonial scholarship must promote a more complex and nuanced understanding of the role and significance of translations in postcolonial studies. More theory and more translations are crucial to forging new directions.
