Translation Is Political. Translation decides whose stories travel, whose are preserved, and whose are ignored.
By supporting this campaign, you help fight the inequity of whose voices get translated—supporting writers from cultures often overlooked in mainstream publishing.
This donation campaign works on a sliding scale:
• $5 → choose any 3 books
• $25–$100 → get all 12
Buyers also choose whether 10% goes to Global Voices.
Affordable for readers, life-changing for translators.
Several books in this bundle are brand-new translations, created exclusively for this project—especially works from marginalized languages and regions where long-form translation rarely receives funding.
Your purchase helps bring these voices to the world.
The campaign celebrates the power of translation: fiction, journalism, and global storytelling that cross borders.
Your support helps fund @globalvoiceslingua, keeping multilingual publishing open, community-driven, and accessible to all.
This campaign brings together 12 books from 12 regions: Zimbabwe, Korea, Palestine, Nigeria, South Africa, India, Thailand, Malaysia/Singapore, Brazil, Wiikwemkoong, Canada, and Ukraine.
A global bookshelf—translated into English for the first time. (And 10% of the donations goes to GV Lingua!)
Earlier this month, StoryBundle launched a global storytelling bundle focused on translated books which will support @globalvoiceslingua , our network of volunteer translators who bring underreported stories into dozens of languages.
Every purchase helps keep GV Lingua active, enabling volunteers to translate community-driven journalism into dozens of languages.
This work opens doors, builds understanding, and ensures voices from around the world can be heard—not just locally, but globally.
These books aren’t written to explain or exoticize their cultures—they come from within, offering loving, critical, and nuanced perspectives.
Reading them helps us see that while our struggles are shared, our experiences are uniquely powerful.
This project was built by a worldwide community of writers, editors, and translators.
It shows what happens when global storytellers collaborate: they share, build, and learn across languages—just like the mission of GV Lingua
