{"product_id":"through-deaf-eyes-douglas-baynton-9781563683473","title":"Through Deaf Eyes: A Photographic History of an American Community","description":"\u003cp\u003e In 2001, the Smithsonian Institution presented the landmark photographic exhibition History Through Deaf Eyes, representing nearly 200 years of United States deaf history. Drawing heavily on the extensive archives at Gallaudet University, the curators created an exhibition that drew more than 400,000 people viewed at the Smithsonian and in 12 cities during a five-year national tour. Its popularity prompted the production of a documentary film for national broadcast on the Public Broadcasting System. Now, the photographs, quotes, and stories from this remarkable exhibit and documentary have been assembled in a book of stunning beauty and poignant images, \u003ci\u003eThrough Deaf Eyes: A Photographic History of an American Community\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring more than 200 full-color photographs, \u003ci\u003eThrough Deaf Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e depicts the story of Deaf America and also affords readers the opportunity to learn about the nation's broader history. The values and judgments of society have had an impact on the education, employment, and family life of deaf people, while historical eras often can be illuminated by examination through a Deaf lens. Photographs reveal the character of Deaf people in school settings, the workplace, during wartime, and using their cultural signature, American Sign Language. For both deaf and hearing readers, the Deaf community portrayed in \u003ci\u003eThrough Deaf Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique and fascinating perspective on the value of human difference. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Baynton, Jack R.
