Refusing to accept the limitations others have placed on the deaf, the authors--themselves deaf--argue for a deaf culture, one united by & expressed thru the American Sign Language. A long, painful experience of hearing intolerance has generally kept Deaf culture fairly closed to outsiders, even sympathetic ones. But now Padden & Humphries...have written a charming small book that invites the rest of us at least part way in...A most welcome addition to that very small shelf of books that truly illuminate the experience of being deaf.--Beryl Lieff Benderly, Psychology Today Preface Introduction Learning to be deaf Images of being A different center Living in others' world A changing consciousness The meaning of sound Historically created lives References Index Similar books: When the Mind Hears by Harlan Lane The Amazing Book is Not on Fire by Dan Howell The Adventurous Eaters Club by Misha Collins Code Complete by Steve McConnell Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton The Simple Path to Wealth by J.
