{"product_id":"inside-deaf-culture-9780674022522","title":"Inside Deaf Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this absorbing story of the changing life of a community, the authors of \u003ci\u003eDeaf in America\u003c\/i\u003e reveal historical events and forces that have shaped the ways that Deaf people define themselves today. \u003ci\u003eInside Deaf Culture\u003c\/i\u003e relates Deaf people's search for a voice of their own, and their proud self-discovery and self-description as a flourishing culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePadden and Humphries show how the nineteenth-century schools for the deaf, with their denigration of sign language and their insistence on oralist teaching, shaped the lives of Deaf people for generations to come. They describe how Deaf culture and art thrived in mid-twentieth century Deaf clubs and Deaf theatre, and profile controversial contemporary technologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost triumphant is the story of the survival of the rich and complex language American Sign Language, long misunderstood but finally recently recognized by a hearing world that could not conceive of language in a form other than speech. In a moving conclusion, the authors describe their own very different pathways into the Deaf community, and reveal the confidence and anxiety of the people of this tenuous community as it faces the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eInside Deaf Culture\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the experience of a minority culture--its common past, present debates, and promise for the future.
