A good book that helps to disgrace and/or 'lay it straight' about people who think they are 'helping' the deaf when in fact they are hurting the people they are supposed to serve.

This book changed my life and helped me gain a Deaf (capital D) identity. I'm no longer a bitter, jaundiced dude, thanks to this gem :)

After reading this, I felt two things:
1) this wasn't really telling me anything new as a Deaf person
2) wow! really anti-hearing people perspective.
I think this would be an okay book to read if you're new to the Deaf world and aren't sure why things should be different. However, as someone already affiliated with it, I'm not feeling too hot about this book.

THis is an amazing book that really helps to give you a great perspective on what it must be like to be deaf, and how "normal" people would treat you. It is a great look into Cochelear Implants and how they are detrimental to some, and helpful to others. I think that everyone should read this book.

Clear and concise. Very interesting. Brings to your attention what sounds like madness but has actually gone on and is going on in the deaf culture and community.
Taught a 1 and a half hour presentation in sign on chapter 2.

On of the best books for insight into the Deaf Community. I bought this book for a college course, but I kept it rather than selling it back to the bookstore. It is a fantastic read.

The book was slightly biased with things not explained fully, but it does give great light to the plight of the Deaf.
