Most translation funding still goes to bestsellers or colonial languages.
This campaign shifts that balance by supporting translations from under-represented languages, like Shona, Nishinaabemowin, Ukrainian, Malay, Hausa, isiZulu, Tamil, Thai, Brazilian Portuguese, and more.

These books aren’t written to explain or exoticize their cultures—they come from within, offering loving, critical, and nuanced perspectives.
Reading them helps us see that while our struggles are shared, our experiences are uniquely powerful.

This project was built by a worldwide community of writers, editors, and translators.
It shows what happens when global storytellers collaborate: they share, build, and learn across languages—just like the mission of @globalvoiceslingua.bsky.social.

Translation Is Political. Translation decides whose stories travel, whose are preserved, and whose are ignored.
By supporting this campaign, you help fight the inequity of whose voices get translated—supporting writers from cultures often overlooked in mainstream publishing.

Several books in this bundle are brand-new translations, created exclusively for this project—especially works from marginalized languages and regions where long-form translation rarely receives funding.
