A lens on deaf identities

Leigh provides a comprehensive, careful, and cogent treatment of a timely topic--that of deaf identity in a time of significant technological, medical, educational, and cultural shift for deaf people in the U.S. and around the globe. Her work on this subject is both wide and deep, using sources from an impressive range of material--psychology, sociology, philosophy, social work, anthropology, sociolinguistics, identity studies in other areas and even first-person accounts. Her judicious critical balance in addressing deaf identity, a subject of considerable current contention and anxiety, will make this book a foundational source in deaf studies for years to come. -Back cover.
