From Experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As a deaf education major, this book is a manditory item that has helped open doors into the eyes of a Deaf world.This book clearly defines the feelings and opinions of Deaf people on their treatment and education. I would not recomend this book to a person who is easily offended because it is straight forward in expressing the oppressing feels that hearing people have towards Deaf (sometimes unknowingly).As a text, this book helped as a wonderful companion to the hundreds of books written by hearing people on D/deafness.
Enlightening Path Into New World of Deaf Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is just excellent to take one into another world, a world that is closed to most of us in hearing world, that of the Deaf.It has made me sensitive to this other language group and its rich history and culture. The intro to sign to oral education and all its associated parameters and issues was most enlightening, taking one right up to current mainstreaming emphasis.It is well written, organized, flows well and is just a delight to read. Certainly this is a major resource to understand this neglected and misunderstood group of fascinating humans. This book certainly will raise one's consciousness and passion for this in many cases neglected area of our society.
An accurate look at Deaf culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am a Sign Language interpreter and my boyfriend of two years is Deaf. I read this book for a Deaf culture class and was fascinated by it. Written from a very Deaf perspective, this book is full of things that hearing people never think of but which I see nearly every day in both my personal and professional life. This book should be read by anyone who has a Deaf child. It's a real eye-opener. Parents of Deaf children seldom get the kind of help they need at an early enough stage.
most informative, accurate book on Deaf culture I've found
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have a Bachelor of Science in Deaf Studies from Boston University, and I think that this book is readable, informative and accurate in a way that sets it apart from the many books appearing now about Deafness and Deaf culture. It's for everyone: Deaf people, students, parents who have a Deaf child, and people wishing to learn more about the subject. I enjoyed it because the facts weren't hidden behind jargon and the personal experiences of the authors came through strongly. This should be the first book a person picks up when wanting to learn about Deafness.

This is one of the most exquisite, rich and compelling views into the beauty of Deaf Culture. This book gives an extremely well-rounded view into the history, current issues, and future trends in the Deaf-World.
