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. 606 $aDeafness 606 $aDeaf people$zGreat Britain 606 $aSubculture 606 $aSociology of disability 615 0$aDeafness. 615 0$aDeaf people 615 0$aSubculture. 615 0$aSociology of disability. 676 $a305.9/08162 700 $aLadd$b Paddy$f1952-$01756965 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817385603321 996 $aUnderstanding deaf culture$94194582 997 $aUNINA
