An Intimate Journey into the Heart of the Deaf Community Don't Just
"Sign..".Communicate prepares you to interact with the deaf and
hard of hearing - in a knowledgeable and respectful way - by giving
you an exclusive glimpse into this rich and diverse community. This
eye-opening book will ignite your senses and eliminate any
misconceptions you may have about the deaf community. Delve into
this informative and entertaining collection of personal stories
culled from the writings of talented Deaf, deaf, hard of hearing,
and late-deafened people. Experience the world from their
perspectives and learn what questions and comments are best avoided
and what common courtesies are most appreciated. By reading this
book, you can immerse yourself in the textured world of the deaf
community. Pulsing with vibrant stories, this carefully compiled
anthology swings the door open wide and invites you in. Run with
"Broken Ears," a Chippewa native whose struggle to triumph over
discrimination is compounded by deafness. "Touch the sound of
snowflakes" with percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Experience the
isolation of "Deaf Brown Gurl," an exotic beauty yearning to fit
in. And "follow the music through vibrations" with grand
illusionist Sam Sandler. Get to know them and many others. Their
stories will reach right off the page, grab you by the heart, and
pull you in... This book is meant as a guide to equip ASL students,
but it is so much more... It is a book for the masses - to be read
and reread, to be savored - for it will resonate with you long
after the last page is turned...
