Understanding Deaf Culture (Paperback) Picture

Understanding Deaf Culture (Paperback)

Paddy Ladd

This important book represents a milestone in literature about deafness and the Deaf Community. In it Paddy Ladd examines the concept of cultural identities and applies these to Deaf communities. He illustrates the disempowerment of Deaf people by the medical concept of deafness and contrasts this with his ground breaking concept of "Deafhood", a process by which every Deaf person implicitly explains their existence in the world. "Maybe once in every generation a book appears which turns our previous understanding of a subject on its head. This book undoubtedly fits the bill" Prof. Viv Edwards, University of Reading Paperback 520 pages 2003
