Product Information
Deaf people are subject to different concepts of the deaf and disabled, and their place within society. There is a danger that some deaf people will become marginalized within the prevailing policy or service framework, which, in itself, mitigates against full rights, choice and participation. There is therefore a great need to identify a common language for the experience of oppression and empowerment which all deaf people can share without sacrificing their rights to self-definition. This book uses a multidisciplinary approach within the the wider equalities context in exploring these issues, offering a basis for a constructive dialogue between deaf and disabled people, respecting their differences, dismantling barriers and seeking to inform thinking about human and civil rights.Product Identifiers
