Within and outside Deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of Deaf culture, which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses. 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.DeafDeafGreat BritainSubcultureSociology of disabilityElectronic books.Deaf.DeafSubculture.Sociology of disability.305.9/08162Ladd Paddyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1040263DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910455679403321Understanding Deaf Culture2462982UNINA
