Attitudes, Innuendo and Regulators: Challenges of Interpretation Book

This is an interesting read by three deaf women from different generations and offers three correspondingly different accounts: a hard-of-hearing American woman describes her early life and development through adulthood, from early education in a specialized boarding school where she meets lifelong friends, through later education at school with hearing children, to courtship and marriage to a hearing man; a profoundly deaf British-American Jewish woman thinks back to her early childhood during the Battle of Britain, including the experience of lacking the language to ask and understand answers to questions about what was going on; and a deaf Gallaudet College professor recalls a year-long, and harrowing, round-the-world lecture tour on behalf of Total Communication. All three accounts provide fresh insight into communication issues and various kinds of bigotry.
