The subject of "Deafness"

Deaf Subjects: Between Identities and Places by Brenda Jo Brueggemann is a collection of essays that discusses the modern deaf subject beginning at the turn of the 19th century to the early 21st century. Brueggemann examines the American Sign Language and the radical changes and shifts here in the United States and in other parts of the world. She also explores the complex relationship between people in the deaf community and others and includes essays about famous women in history who have hearing impairments.
