Seeing Voices: A Journey into the World of the Deaf

I have been around the Deaf for many many years.
I have to say this book did not do it justice. It more approached Deafness from the standpoint of "those poor people who can't hear" than a culture.
I especially hate how this author is an "expert" despite that fact that he has no real involvement in the Deaf community.
Definitely not my fav. read, and I wouldn't go for this book if you are earnestly looking for an accurate portrayal of Deaf Culture.
