Summary/Abstract: The article uses the analysis of the translations of African American writers published in Serbia from 1990 tо 2014 in order to explore some of the most important themes in translation studies at present such as (un)translatability, equivalency, poetics, transfer, literal translation, translation of literature and translation of slang and vernacular. The discussion of the examples from the corpus is based on the four categories of translatability. These examples include inadequate translations on lexical, syntactic and pragmatic level as well as successful solutions of these problems which can be applied to similar cases in translations.
