This book weaves intensely personal and evocative stories into a
layered autoethnographic text about the author's experience of
childhood deafness, sign language and education. Interwoven with
the performative narrative are powerful stories of stigma, trauma,
friendships, relationships, love, isolation and displacement. Using
interpretative and reflective analysis, the author explores the
storied experience of self and belonging in family and school
contexts, providing both personal and theoretical perspectives on
language and culture. He traces the pathways he has taken in
pursuit of a true sense of belonging in society, community and
place. This is an important contribution to the study of sign
language, deaf education, disability and deaf health and
well-being. It will be of interest to professionals and
practitioners working with deaf children and parents and to
students and researchers within social policy, social medicine,
psychology, sociology, early childhood studies and special
education.
