Deaf World: A Historical Reader

Lois Bragg (Ed.)

A must for Deaf people, students of Deaf Studies and anyone seeking to understand the world of culturally Deaf people. It is an ambitious anthology of historical material, political writings and personal memoirs covering topics such as eugenics, speech and lipreading, the right to work and marry, and the never-ending controversy over separation versus social integration. An impressive array of prominent figures in the American Deaf world offer a Deaf perspective on struggles, accomplishments and aspirations, which is equally relevant in Britain.
