Chapter 2: A Brief History of Deafhood
Deaf Culture vs. Deafhood
Deaf Culture:
Deaf Traditions
Must be learned, understood, repected
Deafhood:
Positive value for being deaf
Embracing being deaf, not "fixing"
U.S. vs. UK (pg. 52)
United States:
Deaf (signing) first, speaking/English second
Appreciates "good signing" rather than knowledge of sign
United Kingdom:
Speaking first, deaf (signing) second
Appreciates knowledge of sign rather than "good signing"
English Captions (pg. 53)
Not all Deaf Americans can read English captions unproblematically
How can we try to "help" the deaf community if we don't even allow captions to benefit them
Colonialism in Education
Banning of sign language due to "illiteracy"
Removal of the prime means of transmission of Deaf culture traditions (principal, teachers, staff)
