Shared signing communities consist of a relatively high number of
hereditarily deaf people living together with hearing people in
relative isolation, one being the Akan village in Ghana called
Adamorobe. Annelies Kusters traveled to Adamorobe to conduct an
ethnographic study of both the deaf and hearing populations in the
village. She reveals how deaf people in Adamorobe did not live in a
social paradise but that they created their own "Deaf Space" by
seeking each other out to form a society of their own.
