Customer Reviews: Read 2 more reviews... Deaf Awareness June 4, 2008 #1 book on Deaf Awareness. I recommend this book to everyone. Whether or not you are learning sign language or know someone who is deaf this is an excellent book for all hearing people. You never know when you will meet a deaf person and need to communicate with them, reading this book would be a great benefit to you. A Must Read March 5, 2008 This book is perfect for anyone who is studying ASL or just wanting to know more about deaf culture. A must read for all hearing people. This book put me on the defensive. June 28, 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful While this book does contain useful information about the history of Deaf culture in America, and other questions hearing people may have about Deaf culture, the tone was very confrontational and I felt under attack while reading it. I believe the book is a collection of question-and-answer essays that were originally published in a Deaf publication, for Deaf people to pass on to their hearing friends who may have had those questions. As such, the audience for the writing is almost more for Deaf people than it is "For Hearing People Only." I disagreed strongly with some of the generalizations about hearing people, and particularly with the book's portrayal of Christianity, but an Amazon review is not the place for a 10 page paper arguing point by point with topics in the book. I would not recommend this book to the casual hearing observer or to one who is interested in knowing a little bit more about Deaf culture unless you have to read it for a class. I found the book "Train Go Sorry" much more interesting and easier to stomach as an introduction to issues facing the Deaf. now hear this! February 15, 2001 9 out of 9 found this review helpful as a hearing student just now entering the Deaf world, i found much of this book hard to read. i didn't want to be guilty by association of many of the prejudices, assumptions, & opressive acts that were described. i was saddened to think that the rather negative bias (though undoubtedly deserved) towards hearing people represented in this book might block me in developing many true relationships with Deaf people. i've, fortunately, found that not to be the case. the Deaf community is much like any other diverse community. the book did definitely help me to open my eyes to many things i was ignorant of & i even had to admit some stereotypical things about myself. i reccomend it to everyone despite their level of participation with this dynamic community. A MUST Reading for everyone working with the deaf! January 12, 2001 2 out of 3 found this review helpful This is a wonderful book with more information than you can imagine! I require this for my students in my sign classes because it offers more information than I can teach!
