16/11/01 A famous writer about the Deaf and their history, culture is Prof. Harlan Lane. I have read different books from him as part of my Auslan research and they are excellent. One book I am (sporadically, I AM busy!) reading now is "When the mind hears". This book explains the history of the Deaf and is fantastic reading Greetings Antony & Terry Daamen Australia "The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will...... crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."

Hello Kelli and list, A good book to read is "train go sorry" Inside a deaf world. By Leah Hager Cohen. This may answer some of your questions about deaf culture, deaf residential schools. It is too bad that Ms Cohen was not aware of the written system at the time she wrote this book. I can tell you from our experience that Sign Writing is a bridge between the deaf and the hearing!! SW. has enlarged my vocabulary in ASL. ASL is my third language; it is an absolute joy learning it, especially through SW. list. Good luck with your research paper. L.I.F.E. Tini. |
