Product Description
In 2012, the 8th Deaf History International (DHI) Conference featured presentations from members of Deaf communities around the world who related their own autobiographies as well as the biographies of historical Deaf individuals. Telling Deaf Lives: Agents of Change brings together the best of the DHI Conference offerings with this collection and dissemination of Deaf history by and for members of the deaf community.
OVERVIEW
In July 2012, the 8th Deaf History International (DHI) Conference featured 27 presentations from members of Deaf communities around the world who related their own autobiographies as well as the biographies of historical Deaf individuals. The presenters came from 12 different countries, but their stories traverse many other locales. Thus, they created a transnational phenomenon of widespread interest in the collection, documentation, and dissemination of Deaf history by and for members of the deaf community. Telling Deaf Lives: Agents of Change brings together the best of the DHI Conference offerings in this volume.
Due to the dearth of formal research on deaf people, local Deaf community historians drove the preservation of the stories in this collection. Their diversity is remarkable.
These and the other contributors enshrine Deaf people in collective memory by virtue of disseminating and preserving their stories. [Kristin Snoddon, Editor; (2014) 270 pages; soft cover]
