If the former is at best “late medieval”, the latter is clearly no longer “medieval”. In brief, the present volume offers a valuable survey of original medieval Latin texts that offer a – positive or negative – evaluation of the “new Arabic sciences”. However, it sometimes fails to provide a fully critical evaluation of all the elements involved in the quoted texts. Finally, it has to be noted that the very title of the book is somewhat misleading, especially insofar as not all names given are names of translators and not all of the texts mentioned are “scientific”.

Abstract This article explores the ways in which African American Mercer Cook's translation practice reflects complex overlaps between his professional/personal selves and an ideological backdrop that encompasses black internationalism, US race struggles and mid-twentieth-century diplomatic relations with Africa. A first section explores how Cook, a university professor of French, uses what he terms the “close-to-home” value of translation in order to expose his African American students to what has been written about them in French. At the same time, translation is seen by him as essential to building a “shared elsewhere” where his students can reflect on their place within a black world that is neither nation-bound nor monolingual. A second section examines the way in which Cook's translation practice is inflected by his role as US ambassador in francophone West Africa during the 1960s. In this context, the convergence of US civil rights with official US Cold War policy on postcolonial African states is key to understanding Cook's stance as a translator and the way in which he seeks diplomatically to propel his translations of L.S Senghor's texts towards a racially riven US readership.
