Descrição
Deaf Planet is a captivating account of the founding of the IVT (International Visual Theatre) in Paris. Diversity, identity and intergroup issues are explored in relation to deaf communities in France and the United States. The book also exposes the social and legal hurdles facing deaf people, especially in education and on the job market, and provides historical background on sign language and its repression. The author describes the efforts of deaf individuals to heighten the awareness of healthcare professionals and thereby help them work more effectively with deaf people by accepting their otherness.
