Reviews

'Although the focus of Deafness, Community and Culture in Britain is on deaf communities, clubs and leisure pursuits, the book's thorough account of the diverse issues involved in community identity and the development of clubs and the impact of modern digital communication will be of interest to those engaged with social and cultural history, disability studies and the provision of community services more widely. The contextualisation of the results from quantitative analysis of the data from deaf newspapers provides an alternative perspective for examining hearing-related difficulties and interventions.' Bonnie Millar, Disability and Society Vol 32, 2017 - Issue 3 -- .
