Self-Translation Brokering Originality in Hybrid Culture

The new year starts with the publication of several new titles on self-translation. One certainly worth reading is the first collection with articles in English on self-translation edited by Anthony Cordingley.
The volume with the title Self-Translation Brokering Originality in Hybrid Culture covers a great variety of topics: Self-translation and Literary History, Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Sociology, Psychoanalysis, Philosophy, Post-colonial Perspectives & Cosmopolitan Identities/Texts.
While many contributors and their ideas are already well known in the research of self-translation, one contribution sounds especially interesting to me:  "Indigenization and Opacity: Self-translation in the Okinawan/Ryukyuan writings of Takara Ben and Medoruma Shun" by Mark Gibeau, as I am always curious to learn about new self-translators and the conditions under which they write and translate.
