Cruel Legacy (Revised Edition)

A F Dimmock

An historical evaluation of the place of Deaf People in society. In the main, it describes the struggle against stigmatisation and devaluation by the majority hearing populace but due credit is given to hearing people who genuinely helped Deaf people in their work for a better deal. Above all, however, it rescues from oblivion some heroic Deaf figures of the past who are portrayed as a real inspiration to Deaf people at present. Paperback 75 pages 2000
