"Inside Deaf Culture" is a fascinating account of the rise of group
identity among deaf people...Padden and Humphries shed light on the
rise of Deaf schools, social clubs and theaters from the mid-19th
to the mid-20th centuries--a history that is unknown to
many.--Jeremy Funk"Christian Century" (01/24/2006)
Carol Padden and Tom Humphries have done it again--and readers
everywhere should be grateful. Almost twenty years ago, Padden and
Humphries helped transform the nascent and promising field of deaf
history with their path-breaking and still relevant book, "Deaf in
America: Voices From a Culture". In their current work, Padden and
Humphries further explore formative "cu1tura1 moments" in the deaf
community--what they describe as the generative ideas and
influences that shape how deaf people identify themselves...This
book is a valuable exploration of the deaf community.--Robert M.
Buchanon "American Historical Review "

inside look at the development of Deaf culture...Padden and

history and development of the language and beliefs of the Deaf

hearing world of the rich and fertile culture of the authors'
beloved community.--Susan Waltzman"New England Journal of Medicine"
