My analysis focuses primarily on strategies that I used in an effort to preserve the strangeness of a linguistic context that is, in many ways, "foreign" to twenty first-century North Americans while also striving to avoid reproducing the violence embedded in language that is historically laden with extreme power disparities.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/GermanyAfricacolonialismtranslationcitizenshiplegal historyAfrican American StudiesAfricana StudiesAfrican HistoryCivil LawCivil Rights and DiscriminationCommon LawComparative and Foreign LawComparative LiteratureCultural Heritage LawCultural HistoryDiplomatic HistoryEthnic StudiesEuropean HistoryEuropean Languages and SocietiesEuropean LawFamily LawFrench and Francophone Language and LiteratureGerman Language and LiteratureGovernment ContractsHistoryHistory of the Pacific IslandsHolocaust and Genocide StudiesHuman Rights LawImmigration LawIndigenous StudiesInternational Humanitarian LawInternational LawJewish StudiesLanguage Interpretation and TranslationLaw and GenderLaw and PoliticsLaw and RaceLaw and SocietyLegalLegal HistoryMelanesian StudiesMicronesian StudiesModern LanguagesOther Arts and HumanitiesOther German Language and LiteratureOther HistoryOther Languages, Societies, and CulturesOther LawOther Spanish and Portuguese Language and LiteraturePacific Islands Languages and SocietiesPolitical HistoryPolynesian StudiesPublic HistoryRace, Ethnicity and Post-Colonial StudiesSocial HistoryTranslation StudiesTransnational LawWomen's Historycampusfivehttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-6204-5082
