At home among strangers October 26, 2007

I think this book does a great job of summarizing subjects that I have read entire books on before. There is a lot of information packed into this book. It gives you a great perspective on the Deaf community in Amercia.

At Home Among Strangers is a well-written historical overview of the Deaf community in America and of Deaf activism. Jerome Schein is a hearing academic who studies the Deaf community from a sympathetic but somewhat distant perspective. It contains a lot of good information about Deaf organizations and events that hearing people are largely unaware of, so if you are a hearing person who wants to learn more about the Deaf community, this isn't a bad place to start, along with other books and classes in ASL.
