| Synopsis: |
A new language minority has come to the fore in America and around the world. It is the tight-knit society -- some million strong in the United States -- that calls itself, in American Sign Language, the Deaf-World. It has a history, a flourishing culture, and a political agenda. A Journey into the Deaf-World is the compelling story of this much misunderstood minority as it struggles for self-determination. Journey address questions such as these: What is Deaf culture all about?; How are Deaf children raised and educated and how should they be?; What do signed language and Deaf culture have to offer the Deaf child -- and hearing people?; What can we learn from Deaf societies in other lands?; How does technology help -- and hinder -- Deaf people?; How to Deaf people integrate into the larger society?. |
