The collection of readings in Learning American Sign Language to
Experience the Essence of Deaf Culture broadens students' knowledge
of the Deaf community and Deaf culture. The material also gives
important and meaningful context to American Sign Language. The
readings in the first section introduce students to history through
Deaf eyes, medical and cultural views of Deafness, the Deaf
community, the grammar of American Sign Language, American Sign
Language numbering systems, the American Sign Language continuum,
communication technologies and name signs used in American Sign
Language. Section two focuses on notable Deaf men and women, the
ear and Deafness and Deafhood. The readings in the third section
examine artistic areas of Deafness including the Deaf Poet Society
and Deaf View of Image in Art. Differing constructions of Deafness
and theories of dysconscious audism are discussed. The text also
looks at Deaf culture through two American Sign Language Stories:
Bird of a Different Feather and For a Decent Living. Extensively
class-tested, Learning American Sign Language to Experience the
Essence of Deaf Culture develops readers' awareness of and
sensitivity to the Deaf community in America. The book is an
excellent addition to courses in American Sign Language, Deaf
history and culture, and communication sciences and disorders.
