This volume of selected papers from the second Critical Link
conference (Vancouver, 1998) shows a marked evolution in Community
Interpreting (CI) since the first Critical Link conference of 1995.
In the intervening three years the field has advanced from pioneering
to professionalization in response to new social needs created by the
influx of immigrants into the developed countries, or by an awakened
sensitivity to the rights of those countries' aboriginal peoples. Most
of the papers discuss professionalization in terms of standards, tests
and examinations; training; accreditation; and professional
organizations that establish and administer professional standards.
The collection reveals similar concerns about these issues throughout
the world and a global focus on 'standards'.  With a Foreword by Brian
Harris.
