Description:
In "Seeing Voices" "one of the great clinical writers of the 20th century" (New York Times Book Review) turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a beautiful and immensely moving book, one that not only takes us into the world of the deaf but offers a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect".Seeing Voices" opens with a history of the deaf, tracing their courageous battle for acceptance in a hearing world, and goes on to consider ASL (American Sign Language), the extraordinary mode of communication that has wide-ranging implications for the hearing as well. Finally, Dr. Sacks examines the uprising of deaf students at Gallaudet University and considers its impact on a new generation of deaf children. Like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, "Seeing Voices" is a fascinating voyage into a strange and wonderful land, a provocative meditation on communication, biology, and culture.
