About the Book

This book introduces dialogist interpretation as an innovative approach within interpreting studies, offering a critical examination of interpreter-mediated asylum encounters. Based on a case study of a legal consultation in the Netherlands, the book reveals how internal dialogues, linguistic assumptions, institutional constraints and systemic biases influence credibility assessments and shape asylum narratives. Drawing on the author’s experience as a researcher, interpreter and former asylum seeker, this study examines the power dynamics between interpreters, legal professionals, asylum seekers and the institutional structures governing legal procedures. Through detailed textual analysis and reflective interviews, it demonstrates the active role interpreters play and offers a new paradigm for understanding and improving asylum procedures. Challenging dominant narratives and calling for systemic reform, this book offers practical recommendations for interpreters, educators, legal professionals and policymakers as well as essential insights for scholars in interpreting studies, law and communication.

Review :
This book has an inspiring and promising message for everyone involved in communicatively complex encounters like interpreter-mediated asylum interviews. Put simply: case workers, lawyers, interpreters and other professionals can improve their performance by learning more about the dialogic, collaborative, and exchange-focused nature of human sense making. Hassan Mizori’s Interpreting in Asylum Procedures: Dialogist Interpretation is a groundbreaking exploration of communication in high-stakes legal contexts. Through an innovative application of dialogism, Mizori illuminates the often-overlooked complexities of interpreter-mediated encounters, offering profound insights that challenge conventional practices and advocate for more just and effective asylum procedures. This book critically examines the role of interpreters in asylum processes. Mizori’s work underscores the complexities of communication in these high-stakes settings and provides thought-provoking insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers committed to addressing linguistic inequalities and fostering clearer understanding in asylum procedures.
