Description
A piercing look at the gulf that separates the Deaf minority from the hearing world, this passionate classic is essential reading for people who want to understand the gap between these two cultures. Critically acclaimed as a breakthrough when first published, the issues brilliantly brought to the fore by The Mask of Benevolence are still deeply relevant. This edition, with new information on the science and ethics of cochlear implants, sheds a forceful light on the mistreatment of the Deaf minority by a hearing establishment that resists understanding and awareness.
