Book Description
SAMUEL THOMAS GREENE A Legend in the Nineteenth Century Deaf Community Clifton F. Carbin Samuel Thomas Greene, born in 1843, grew up in Maine, attended North America s first permanent and publicly supported school for deaf children, in Hartford, Connecticut, and the world s first degree-granting college for deaf students, in Washington, D.C. Later, he became an accomplished teacher in Canada at a provincial school for the deaf in Belleville, Ontario. He was a multitalented man who made significant contributions to the development of the nineteenth century Deaf Community. Despite several stone edifices and other memorials that mark his existence, not a single book about him has been written until now. This book documents Greene s life, providing an archival story that includes a selection of his original school compositions, letters, writings, and speeches along with a broad selection of photographs and other documented materials of interest. It will help preserve Greene s legacy for many generations and will be a resource for future writers to expand on to further share his extraordinary story. This biography also is a valuable addition to the growing collection of Deaf profiles that readers can enjoy. Clifton F. Carbin is a Deaf freelance researcher and writer, specializing in Canadian Deaf historical subjects. His previous book was Deaf Heritage in Canada: A Distinctive, Diverse, and Enduring Culture.

Book Description
"Inside Deaf Culture relates deaf people's search for a voice of their own, and their proud self-discovery and self-description as a flourishing culture. Padden and Humphries show how the nineteenth-century schools for the deaf, with their denigration of sign language and their insistence on oralist teaching, shaped the lives of deaf people for generations to come. They describe how deaf culture and art thrived in mid-twentieth century deaf clubs and deaf theatre, and profile controversial contemporary technologies." Cf. Publisher's description.

Book Description
Written by authors who are themselves Deaf, this unique book illuminates the life and culture of Deaf people from the inside, through their everyday talk, their shared myths, their art and performances, and the lessons they teach one another. Carol Padden and Tom Humphries employ the capitalized "Deaf" to refer to deaf people who share a natural language—American Sign Language (ASL—and a complex culture, historically created and actively transmitted across generations. Signed languages have traditionally been considered to be simply sets of gestures rather than natural languages. This mistaken belief, fostered by hearing people’s cultural views, has had tragic consequences for the education of deaf children; generations of children have attended schools in which they were forbidden to use a signed language. For Deaf people, as Padden and Humphries make clear, their signed language is life-giving, and is at the center of a rich cultural heritage. The tension between Deaf people’s views of themselves and the way the hearing world views them finds its way into their stories, which include tales about their origins and the characteristics they consider necessary for their existence and survival. Deaf in America includes folktales, accounts of old home movies, jokes, reminiscences, and translations of signed poems and modern signed performances. The authors introduce new material that has never before been published and also offer translations that capture as closely as possible the richness of the original material in ASL. Deaf in America will be of great interest to those interested in culture and language as well as to Deaf people and those who work with deaf children and Deaf people.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Deaf Mutes of Canada: A History Fo Their Education, With an Account of the Deaf Mute Institutions of the Dominion, and a Description of All Known Finger and Sign Alphabets The volume here presented to the reader contains a full resume of the most interesting facts concerning the Deaf-mute World. Compiled in part from many sources, it will be found to offer in an interesting form all that readers in general will care to know. To Canadians in particular the detailed account of the commencement of deaf-mute education in this country, written by one closely connected with the work from the beginning, will be found of special interest, and will place on permanent record many facts that would otherwise have been lost. It will be valued by all connected with the work in the past, and to the first generation of educated Canadian deaf-mutes, now scattered throughout the Dominion, the narrative and illustrative reminders of their earlier years, will, we are sure, be eagerly welcomed. To those hitherto unacquainted with the position and needs of deaf-mutes we hope the book will be of service in arousing an active interest in their behalf. No class needing so much, in many circumstances, the aid of intelligent sympathizers. In the words of Mr. Mathison, Superintendent of the Institution at Belleville "Uneducated, a deaf child has no knowledge of language; is isolated, as it were, from the rest of mankind; is irresponsible and in many cases dangerous to the community; life is a blank without a ray of hope to illuminate the future. With an education such as may be had here, all this is changed and the mute is enabled to take his or her place as respectable members of society and law-abiding citizens and learn of the glorious life beyond."

Book Description
The time has come for a new in-depth encyclopedic collection of articles defining the current state of Deaf Studies at an international level and using the critical and intersectional lens encompassing the field. The emergence of Deaf Studies programs at colleges and universities and the broadened knowledge of social sciences (including but not limited to Deaf History, Deaf Culture, Signed Languages, Deaf Bilingual Education, Deaf Art, and more) have served to expand the activities of research, teaching, analysis, and curriculum development. The field has experienced a major shift due to increasing awareness of Deaf Studies research since the mid-1960s. The field has been further influenced by the Deaf community’s movement, resistance, activism and politics worldwide, as well as the impact of technological advances, such as in communications, with cell phones, computers, and other devices. A major goal of this new encyclopedia is to shift focus away from the “Medical/Pathological Model” that would view Deaf individuals as needing to be “fixed” in order to correct hearing and speaking deficiencies for the sole purpose of assimilating into mainstream society. By contrast, The Deaf Studies Encyclopedia seeks to carve out a new and critical perspective on Deaf Studies with the focus that the Deaf are not a people with a disability to be treated and “cured” medically, but rather, are members of a distinct cultural group with a distinct and vibrant community and way of being.
