“Using a corpus of four Cameroonian texts written in Camfranglais, this book offers ample discussion of major translation challenges posed by the cross-cultural and multilingual nature of Camfranglais. Vakunta’s rigorous analysis attempts to provide answers to questions of translatability as well as language and cultural ambivalence. He effectively proposes a variety of translation strategies based on the theoretical approach that considers translation as an act of interpretation. This book is an essential reading for any translator interested in aspects of literary translation whether at a theoretical or a practical level”
