A Book on Deafness for Hearing People March 15, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a readable and startling book. Startling, because it turns our notions of deafness upside down. Just the passages on how total deafness is rare and that deaf can mean many things, is worth the price of the book. There is Deaf -- meaning part of Deaf culture. There is deaf -- meaning a medical definition. There is hard of hearing and there is passing. That is , reading lips well enough to get by in the hearing world. Some folks use all these techniques to survive in the hearing world. I think we sometimes believe that disability is a fixed, immutable experience, but Brueggemann reveals that a hearing impairment is a fluid, mutable human experience.
