Abstract
Although it is a profession that has been practiced since time immemorial, Community interpretting does not, however, have the support that academic disciplines usually enjoy, nor the industrial protection that safeguards - at least in theory - the basic rights of practitioners in most established professions. This chapter will attempt to provide an overview of this multi-layered and multilabelled discipine, presenting some of the main issues, challenges, and controversies.
