disabling the Deaf community

This book provides a piercing look at the gulf that separates the Deaf minority from the hearing world. This passionate classic is essential for professionals who work with the Deaf as well as for people who want to understand the gap between these two cultures. Critically acclaimed as a breakthrough when first published in 1992 this new edition with new information on the science and ethics of cochlear implants sheds a forceful light on the mistreatment of the Deaf minority by a hearing establishment that resists understanding and awareness. Recipient of a Literary Achievement Award from the National Association of the Deaf. [(1999) 319 pages; soft cover]
