  Inside Deaf
Culture [0674022521]
  by Carol A. Padden (Author), Tom L. Humphries (Author)
  
  In this absorbing
story of the changing life of a community, the authors of Deaf in America reveal historical events and forces that have
shaped the ways that Deaf people define themselves today. Inside Deaf Culture relates Deaf people's search for a voice
of their own, and their proud self-discovery and self-description as a flourishing culture.
  
  Padden 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.
  
  Most 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.
 

  Inside Deaf Culture celebrates the experience of a minority culture--its common past, present debates, and
promise for the future. From these pages emerge clear and bold voices, speaking out from inside this once silenced
community. 
  
  Editorial Reviews
  Review
  With writing remarkable for its grace, simplicity, and
clarity, Padden and Humphries hold Deaf culture before our eyes for many faceted inspection. This book will be
enormously important to ASL teachers, to teachers of Deaf studies, and to Deaf and hearing people who want to understand
the Deaf World. (Harlan Lane, author of A Journey into the Deaf-World)
  
  What a bold and courageous book!
Carol Padden and Tom Humphries shed light on significant moments in the history of the American Deaf community. They
show how struggles for power and dominance have run through their experience for more than a century, from coercive
methods of teaching language to efforts of modern science to "correct" and possibly even eliminate deafness--and with
it, Deaf culture. (Glenn Anderson, Professor and Director of Training at the University of Arkansas Rehabilitation
Research and Training Center for Persons who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing)
  
  Inside Deaf Culture is a
valuable addition to the growing collection of historical material about the Deaf community in the United States of
America. It will add much to a better understanding of who we Deaf people are. (Jack Gannon, author of Deaf Heritage)
  
  This well-organized and clearly written book provides a fascinating inside look at the development of Deaf
culture...Padden and Humphries's presentation of these marvelous insights into the history and development of the
language and beliefs of the Deaf should be viewed as a welcome step in the quest to inform the hearing world of the rich
and fertile culture of the authors' beloved community. (Susan Waltzman New England Journal of Medicine 2005-07-28)

 
  Inside Deaf Culture is a fascinating account of the rise of group identity among deaf people...Padden and
Humphries shed light on the rise of Deaf schools, social clubs and theaters from the mid-19th to the mid-20th
centuries--a history that is unknown to many. (Jeremy Funk Christian Century 2006-01-24)
  
  Carol Padden and
Tom Humphries have done it again--and readers everywhere should be grateful. Almost twenty years ago, Padden and
Humphries helped transform the nascent and promising field of deaf history with their path-breaking and still relevant
book, Deaf in America: Voices From a Culture. In their current work, Padden and Humphries further explore formative
"cu1tura1 moments" in the deaf community--what they describe as the generative ideas and influences that shape how deaf
people identify themselves...This book is a valuable exploration of the deaf community. (Robert M. Buchanon American
Historical Review)
