Deafness and Ethnicity: Services, Policy and Politics - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This report is the first comprehensive examination of the field of ethnicity and deafness. It provides a national overview of initiatives with deaf people from minority ethnic communities, considering debates on ethnicity and service provision, and on the politics of deafness in Britain. Using interviews with deaf users and workers, the authors consider issues of identity, language and perspectives on services. The authors argue that minority ethnic deaf people have a role to play in defining themselves and their needs, not just as deaf people, but as people who have cultural, religious and gender identities, and in asserting their right as citizens. Deafness and ethnicity constitutes a major resource which will be widely welcomed by students, teachers, researchers and practitioners with an interest in ethnicity and/or deafness.
