In 2001, the Smithsonian Institution presented the landmark
photographic exhibition History Through Deaf Eyes, representing
nearly 200 years of United States deaf history. Drawing heavily on
the extensive archives at Gallaudet University, the curators
created an exhibition that drew more than 400,000 people viewed at
the Smithsonian and in 12 cities during a five-year national tour.
Its popularity prompted the production of a documentary film for
national broadcast on the Public Broadcasting System. Now, the
photographs, quotes, and stories from this remarkable exhibit and
documentary have been assembled in a book of stunning beauty and
poignant images, Through Deaf Eyes: A Photographic History of an
American Community. Featuring more than 200 full-color photographs,
Through Deaf Eyes depicts the story of Deaf America and also
affords readers the opportunity to learn about the nation's broader
history. The values and judgments of society have had an impact on
the education, employment, and family life of deaf people, while
historical eras often can be illuminated by examination through a
Deaf lens. Photographs reveal the character of Deaf people in
school settings, the workplace, during wartime, and using their
cultural signature, American Sign Language. For both deaf and
hearing readers, the Deaf community portrayed in Through Deaf Eyes
offers a unique and fascinating perspective on the value of human
difference.
