This book assesses the concepts of Deaf culture. It illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for Deaf communities by the medical concept of `deafness' and contrasts this with a new concept of Deafhood a process by which every Deaf child family and adult implicitly explains their existence in the world to themselves and each other.
