Black ASL has long been recognized as a distinct variety of
American Sign Language based on abundant anecdotal evidence. The
Hidden Treasure of Black ASL, originally published in 2011,
presents the first sociohistorical and linguistic study of this
language variety. Based on the findings of the Black ASL Project,
which undertook this unprecedented research, Hidden Treasure
documents the stories and language of the African American Deaf
community. With links to online supplemental video content that
includes interviews with Black ASL users (formerly on DVD), this
volume is a groundbreaking scholarly contribution and a powerful
affirmation for Black Deaf people. This paperback edition includes
an updated foreword by Glenn B. Anderson, a new preface that
reflects on the impact of this research, and an expanded list of
references and resources on Black ASL. The supplemental video
content is available online at the Gallaudet University Press
YouTube Channel. Under Playlists, click "The Hidden Treasure of
Black ASL: Companion Video to the Book." As featured in the film
Signing Black in America: The Story of Black ASL, produced by The
Language and Life Project at North Carolina State University (Dr.
Walt Wolfram, Executive Producer). Look for it on PBS.
