Ladd (deaf studies, U. of Bristol, UK) addresses the deaf community as well as the radical and progressive communities who have, he asserts, failed to recognize the marginalization of disabled people even as they champion the rights of other marginal populations. He describes the world of deaf people as an identifiable culture with a collective worldview and a distinctive language, and he explores the history of deaf communities, presenting it as a "counter-narrative" to the dominant discourse. He then describes the cultural strategies that deaf people have used to navigate their world. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
