Over the past decade, a significant body of work on the topic of
deaf identities has emerged. In this volume, Leigh and O'Brien
bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines -
anthropology, counseling, education, literary criticism, practical
religion, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and deaf studies - to
examine deaf identity paradigms. In this book, contributing authors
describe their perspectives on what deaf identities represent, how
these identities develop, and the ways in which societal influences
shape these identities. Intersectionality, examination of medical,
educational, and family systems, linguistic deprivation, the role
of oppressive influences, the deaf body, and positive deaf identity
development, are among the topics examined in the quest to better
understand deaf identities. In reflection, contributors have
intertwined both scholarly and personal perspectives to animate
these academic debates. The result is a book that reinforces the
multiple ways in which deaf identities manifest, empowering those
whose identity formation is influenced by being deaf or hard of
hearing.
