Essays on American Sign Language Literature
This unique collection of essays, with accompanying DVD, brings a dazzling view of the literary, social and performative aspects of American Sign Language to a wide audience.
The book presents the work of a renowned and diverse group of Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing scholars who examine original ASL poetry, narrative and drama. The DVD showcases the poems and narratives in their original form, providing access to them for hearing non-signers for the first time. Together, they provide new insight into the history, culture and creative achievements of the deaf community while expanding the scope of the visual and performing arts, literary criticism, and comparative literature. [H-Dirksen L. Bauman, Jennifer L. Nelson, Heidi M. Rose; (2006) DVD; Book: 264 pages; soft cover]
