The book aims to assess the concepts of culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply these to Deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for those communities by the medical concept of deafness and contrasts this with his new concept of Deafhood, a process by which every Deaf child, family and adult implicitly explains their existence in the world to themselves and each other."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
