Reviews

Deaf society, says Schein, is worth studying since it offers society more than it takes from it culturally. This comprehensive work was written during Schein's year (1986-1987) as Chair of Deaf Studies at Gallaudet University. Interesting and insightful, the book explores every aspect of the deaf community--culture, family life, education, and economics. In the latter part of the book, Schein proposes his theory of deaf community development based on five factors: demography, alienation, affiliation, education, and milieu. Especially interesting are the boxes offering anecdotes and real-life problems which highlight the main text. This work is more detailed, better structured, and more fluid than Oliver Sack's Seeing Voices ( LJ 7/89). Recommended.
