Further Reading
Allsop L and Kyle JG (1982) Deaf People and the Community, Final Report to
the Nuffield Foundation, Bristol CDS Bunting C (1981) Public Attitudes to Deafness, London: OPCS Corker M (1996) Deaf Transitions. London; Jessica Kingsley This is well
worth reading, for its views on deaf identity and the experience of deaf people living in
Britain today. It is rather more realistic
and less “frothy” than the Lane, Hoffmeister and Bahan, and is British. Diaz-Estebanez E et al (1995) Deaf People and their Social Reality, Madrid:
Ministerio de Ediucacion y Ciencia Fletcher L
(1987) Language for Ben. London;
Souvenir Press. A
hearing mother's story about her deaf child learning language. A good way to get a handle on the impact of “hearingness”.
Informative, human, clearly written and rattling good story but maybe now rather dated. Good for a long train/bus journey. If you don’t get the chance to read it just
yet, bear it in mind for some time. Gregory S &
Hartley J (eds) (1991) Constructing Deafness.
Milton Keynes; Open University Press. Considers
ways in which society defines and constructs ideas of deafness. Nice to browse through, as all the articles are
quite short. At least try to read the
introduction to each section. Harris J (1997) Deafness and the
Hearing, Birmingham: Venture Press Higgins P &
Nash J (eds) (1987) Understanding Deafness Socially. Springfield, Ill; Thomas Good chapters
on the demography of deafness and the socialisation of deaf children. Rather American. Jackson PL (1986) The Deaf Community, Report to the British Deaf
Association, Carlisle: BDA Jones L, Kyle J
& Wood P (1987) Words Apart - losing your hearing as an adult. London; Tavistock Press More
academic. Not always very easy to read but
worth persevering with. British, so more
relevant, perhaps. Good for personal accounts
of acquired deafness and its effects. Kyle JG and Pullen G (1995) Young Deaf People in Employment, Bristol: Centre
for Deaf Studies Lane H (1984) When the Mind Hears, New York: Random House Lane H (1992) The
Mask Of Benevolence. New York: Alfred
Knopf (especially the chapter entitled “What
the FDA did wrong”) Lee R (1992) Deaf Liberation, London: NUD McCracken W
& Sutherland H (1992) Deaf-ability, not Disability. Clevedon; Multilingual Matters. Another good
introduction to deafness, aimed specifically at parents of deaf children but useful for
any student of the topic. Matthews P (1996) The Irish Deaf Community, Dublin: Linguistics
Institute of Ireland Mindel E & Vernon McK (1987) They Grow in Silence, San Diego: College Hill Moore B (1982)
An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing. London;
Academic Press. More in-depth
for people who already have a basic knowledge of how the ear works. If you need a simple introduction, the section in
McCracken and Sutherland is good. Neisser A (1983
and 1990). The Other Side of Silence. New York; Alfred Knopf Press. A hearing
person's critical view of the way hearing people have defined what it means to be deaf. Not always totally accurate, rather out of date
now, and occasionally descends into polemic, but easy and informative to read. Padden C &
Humphries T (1988) Deaf in America. Cambridge
Mass; Harvard University Press. Rezen S &
Hausman C (1985) Coping with hearing loss. New York; Dembner Press. Basic and
clear, aimed at a non-academic readership, but very American. Sainsbury S (1986) Deaf Worlds,
London: Hutchinson Taylor G & Bishop J (1991)
Being Deaf: The experience of deafness, London: Pinter This is very
American, both from the social community point (the American and British Deaf communities
are not the same) and from the point of the style of writing. It is also slightly “Walt Disney” in its
approach, making things perhaps a little more black and white than they really are. However, it is a very useful introduction to many
of the ideas we cover on this course. Tweedie J (1984)
Children's Hearing Problems. Bristol; Wright Press. An accessible
introduction to audiometry and diagnosis of hearing loss in children. Young A,
Ackerman J & Kyle J (1998) Looking On. Bristol:
Policy Press Straight-forward,
accessible summary of the work that was done concerning the status and value of deaf and
hearing people in the workplace. Van Cleve JV (1993) Deaf History Unveiled, Washington, DC: Gallaudet
University Press Wilcox S (1989) American Deaf Culture, Silver Spring, Md: LinstokCorker M (1996) Deaf
Transitions. London; Jessica Kingsley |
