The De a f Cu lt u r e textbook is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, and diversity of Deaf communities in the United States. Conveying a genuine respect for the diversity of the deaf and hard of hearing population, the book addresses the central issues surrounding deafness. These discussions present both theoretical and practical information about the various aspects of Deaf culture today: education, psychology, technology, cultural studies, and the arts. The ten-chapter textbook is designed for audiences who are assumed to be familiar with the pathological view of deafness but are not conversant with the sociocultural view of deafness. It is written in accessible language that is geared toward high school students who have an interest in sign language and Deaf culture. The textbook is divided into three sections: Part 1, Deaf Culture: Yesterday and Today; Part 2, Signed Languages and Learning; and Part 3, Deaf Lives, Technology, Arts, and Career Opportunities. The first chapter of part 1 presents a historical and contemporary description of the Deaf community, its distinct social groups, and key terms and concepts that are rooted in the sociocultural view of deafness. The second chapter explains the causes of deafness and the various levels of hearing loss, as well as technological innovations of the past and present in the treatment of hearing loss. The authors address the controversy surrounding the latest hearing and medical technology, which involves invasive surgery and genetic engineering. They discuss the moral dilemma inherent in considering how far one can
