This book presents a 'Traveller's Guide' to Deaf Culture, starting
from the premise that Deaf cultures have an important contribution
to make to other academic disciplines, and human lives in general.
Within and outside Deaf communities, there is a need for an account
of the new concept of Deaf culture, which enables readers to assess
its place alongside work on other minority cultures and
multilingual discourses. The book aims to assess the concepts of
culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply
these to Deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls
which have been created for those communities by the medical
concept of 'deafness' and contrasts this with his new concept of
"Deafhood", a process by which every Deaf child, family and adult
implicitly explains their existence in the world to themselves and
each other.
