A contemporary and vibrant Deaf culture is found within Deaf
communities, including Deaf Persons of Color and those who are
DeafDisabled and DeafBlind. Taking a more people-centered view, the
second edition of Deaf Culture: Exploring Deaf Communities in the
United States critically examines how Deaf culture fits into
education, psychology, cultural studies, technology, and the arts.
With the acknowledgment of signed languages all over the world as
bona fide languages, the perception of Deaf people has evolved into
the recognition and acceptance of a vibrant Deaf culture centered
around the use of signed languages and the communities of Deaf
peoples. Written by Deaf and hearing authors with extensive
teaching experience and immersion in Deaf cultures and signed
languages, Deaf Culture fills a niche as an introductory textbook
that is more inclusive, accessible, and straightforward for those
beginning their studies of the Deaf-World. New to the Second
