Forest Books: Robert J. Smith City Silent (The)

Deaf Connections is one of the oldest adult Deaf societies in the country. The history of the Society represents not only part of the history of the Scottish Deaf Community, but also a relatively hidden chapter in the history of Scotland and Britain as a whole. As well as drawing a historical portrait of the Society through good times and bad, this book discusses the condition, past and present, of Deaf people in our society, and how that may change in the future. It also makes some exploration of the attitude of society towards Deaf people, and questions whether our present society is truly more enlightened. Paperback 131 pages 2001
