{"product_id":"deaf-and-disability-studies-susan-burch-9781563684647","title":"Deaf and Disability Studies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003e This collection presents 14 essays by renowned scholars on Deaf people, Deafhood, Deaf histories, and Deaf identity, but from different points of view on the Deaf\/Disability compass. Editors Susan Burch and Alison Kafer have divided these works around three themes. The first, Identities and Locations, explores Deaf identity in different contexts. Topics range from a history of activism shaped by the ableism of Deaf elites in the United States from 1880-1920, to a discussion of the roles that economics, location, race, and culture play in the experiences of a Deaf woman from northern Nigeria now living in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alliances and Activism showcases activism organized across differences. Studies include a feminist analysis of how deaf and hearing women working together share responsibility, and an examination of how intra-cultural variations in New York City and Quebec affect deaf-focus HIV\/AIDS programs. The third theme, Boundaries and Overlaps, explicitly addresses the relationships between Deaf Studies and Disability Studies. Interviews with scholars from both disciplines help define these relationships. Another contributor calls for hearing\/not-deaf people with disabilities to support their Deaf peers in gaining langue access to the United Nations. \u003ci\u003eDeaf and Disability Studies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that different questions often lead to contrary conclusions among their authors, who still recognize that they all have a stake in this partnership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Burch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563684640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563684647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallaudet University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 164","brand":"Susan Burch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602745512191,"sku":"9781563684647","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52b7aef9-3b46-4577-8561-148ed6d4eecc.jpg?v=1739695156","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deaf-and-disability-studies-susan-burch-9781563684647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
