Part I: The Birth of Oralism and Deafness as Metaphor illustrates the predominant impression of deafness as isolation, exemplified by Teresa de Cartagena writings in 1455-60 about deafness as an island. Part II: The Return to Deaf Education highlights writers who wished to restore \"the Spanish 'Art'\" of educating deaf students. Lorenzo Herv s y Panduro wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Spanish School of Deafmutes, or Method of Teaching Them to Write and Speak the Spanish Language \u003c\/i\u003ein 1795. Yet, Madrid's Royal School for Deaf-Mutes, which opened in 1805, taught deaf students using methodical signs adopted from France's Abb  de l'Ep e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReadings in Part III: The Contemporary Deaf Experience reveal considerations from the 1970s to the '90s of Deaf culture and linguistics similar to those in the United States, typified by the works of In s Polo and F lix-Jes s Pinedo Peydr . The fourth part, The Recognition of Deaf Language and Culture, marks the expansion of academic research in Spain. Mar a Angeles Rodr guez Gonz lez spearheaded Spanish Sign Language (LSE) linguistics in 1992 with her publication \u003ci\u003eSign Language\u003c\/i\u003e. The final part, A Selection of Deaf Poetry, concludes these documents with verse in Spanish spoken dialects rather than LSE, indicating that the evolution of the Deaf experience in Spain continues on its own path today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563684195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563684197\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 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 151","brand":"Benjamin Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169890169087,"sku":"9781563684197","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bfb13f57-8182-4d4e-886f-9c68fc621a6e.jpg?v=1689655518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deaf-history-and-culture-in-benjamin-fraser-9781563684197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
