At Home Among Strangers

Rating:
Summary: An Historical Overview
Review: At Home Among Strangers is a well-written historical overview of the Deaf community in America and of Deaf activism. Jerome Schein is a hearing academic who studies the Deaf community from a sympathetic but somewhat distant perspective. It contains a lot of good information about Deaf organizations and events that hearing people are largely unaware of, so if you are a hearing person who wants to learn more about the Deaf community, this isn't a bad place to start, along with other books and classes in ASL.
