Understanding Deaf Culture - In Search of Deafhood Paddy Ladd
Ladd’s book presents a ‘Traveller’s Guide’ to deaf culture, starting from the view that that deaf cultures have an important contribution to make to other academic disciplines, and of course, human lives in general. It notes that within and outside deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of deaf culture – one which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses.
