"Readers can relish the richness of French Deaf heritage by reading about early Deaf founders of schools, teachers, artists, writers, and publishers who formed Deaf associations, Deaf congresses and Deaf presses. Maps, tables, and photographic illustrations (both black-and-white and color) enhance the book’s encyclopedic format. An appendix titled 'Ethnicity in the Deaf-World' offers a primer on the book's underlying premise that Deaf minorities constitute unique ethnic groups worldwide...Highly recommended. All readers."
