Over the past decade, a significant body of work on the topic of deaf identities has emerged. In this volume, Leigh and O'Brien bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines -- anthropology, counseling, education, literary criticism, practical religion, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and deaf studies -- to examine deaf identity paradigms. In this book, contributing authors describe their perspectives on what deaf identities represent, how these identities develop, and the ways in which societal influences shape these identities. Intersectionality, examination of medical, educational, and family systems, linguistic deprivation, the role of oppressive influences, the deaf body, and positive deaf identity development, are among the topics examined in the quest to better understand deaf identities. In reflection, contributors have intertwined both scholarly and personal perspectives to animate these academic debates. The result is a book that reinforces the multiple ways in which deaf identities manifest, empowering those whose identity formation is influenced by being deaf or hard of hearing.

Embracing interdisciplinary paradigms, the authors relate how factors such as culture, schooling, home environment, gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect to form Deaf multicultural identities that do not remain static but can evolve across the lifespan. The shared personal journeys of the various authors add compelling detail. The labor of these editors and contributors will disable even the most ardent audists, who may indeed lose their stereotypes about Deaf people after reading this book. Though audists may read at their peril, most others will appreciate this up-to-date account of life with Deaf identity.
