Thomas K Holcomb's highly successful textbook on Deaf culture has
been fully revised and updated in this second edition. The changes
reflect those in the field and include three new chapters focusing
on the impact of technology on the Deaf experience, the roles of
allies in supporting the Deaf community, and the diversity that
exists in the Deaf community. Also new to this edition is an ASL
summary of each chapter, making the book accessible in two
languages that are important in the Deaf community, ASL and
English. The book provides a broad yet in-depth exploration of how
Deaf people are best understood from a cultural perspective. It
explores the tension between the Deaf and disabled communities, the
cultural norms of the Deaf community, Deaf art and literature, the
solutions being offered by the medical and Deaf communities for
effective living as Deaf individuals, and an analysis of the
universality of the Deaf experience. As a member of a
multigenerational Deaf family with a lifetime of experience living
bi-culturally among Deaf and hearing people, author Thomas K.
Holcomb enhances the academic discussions with engaging stories and
the poetry and art of Deaf individuals. In addition to being used
in college-level courses, this book can also help parents and
educators of Deaf children understand the world of Deaf culture. It
offers a beautiful introduction to the ways Deaf people effectively
manage their lives in a world full of people who hear.
