Beskrivning

Many Ways to Be Deaf circles the globe - from Asia and Russia to Europe and the United Kingdom, from Africa to South America to the United States - profiling the immense diversity of the world's Deaf communities. Special attention is paid not only to the historical and linguistic origins of each community's signed language, but to the ways each language has been influenced by the hearing population and foreign influences. Twenty-four international contributors of different cultural and scholastic backgrounds make this appraisal truly diverse and expansive in scope.

Recensioner i media

"In compiling the material for their work, the researchers may have inadvertently set the stage for a more general understanding of world cultures and for valuing diversity. If the Deaf communities of the world can value each other, perhaps we all can." (Choice)"
