Hollywood Speaks (Paperback)

John Schuchman

From the earliest days of the film industry, Hollywood has reinforced stereotypical views of deafness and deaf people in over 200 film and TV episodes. A child of Deaf parents and an advocate for deaf rights, the author challenges negative stereotyping and offers the correct view of the real Deaf community. He parallels portrayals of Deaf people with the way film-makers have also stereotyped black people, native Americans, and other minority groups. This book also has an extensive filmography. Paperback 167 page 1999
