Forest Books: French American Foundation Parallel Views

Provides people involved in Deaf Issues with a unique opportunity to examine two societies' respective relations with deaf people. In his introduction, Harlan Lane proposes that the two nations' concepts of deafness reflect fundamental differences, in that French society considers deaf people as a disability group, while in the US the tendency is to acknowledge the existence of Deaf culture. Topics include: politics; interpreting; education; access and integration; technology; and the late-deafened Person. Hardcover 272 pages 1994  SPECIAL REDUCTION £5.00
