Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Sign, Therefore I Am is the powerful story of a deaf young man struggling with his identity, and of his growth into a sign language user who is proud of his culture. Being the deaf child of hearing parents and the only deaf person in my early surroundings: these were the foundations for the identity crisis I underwent in my youth. The crisis could have had a tragic end, but fortunately in my case it did not. It took years of searching, however, to finally grow into my identity as a deaf person and to adopt Finnish Sign Language as my mother tongue. I wrote this book to share my life experiences with members of any linguistic or cultural minority. This is a highly topical issue in society, as such minorities are increasingly in the limelight. Many automatically assume that minorities have it bad, and that their members deviate - in a negative sense - from the majority population also in other ways. This book offers excellent opportunities for seeing the world through a deaf person ́s eyes and for correcting misguided views. At the same time, it provides compelling evidence of the benefits of deafness and sign language for both the deaf and the population at large.
Download or read book Understanding Deaf Culture written by Paddy Ladd and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2003-02-18 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a ‘Traveller’s Guide’ to Deaf Culture, starting from the premise that Deaf cultures have an important contribution to make to other academic disciplines, and human lives in general. Within and outside Deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of Deaf culture, which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses. The book aims to assess the concepts of culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply these to Deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for those communities by the medical concept of ‘deafness’ and contrasts this with his 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.

Download or read book A Minority Within a Minority Exploring Identity Development in Relation to Mental Health Outcomes Within the Black Deaf Community written by Nekolas Milton and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Deaf people are a double minority group that faces discrimination on multiple fronts. There is little literature on the relationship of cultural identity development and mental health concerns of this marginalized group. This study employs a mixed method approach to examine this relationship and explore the extant culturally tailored interventions targeted towards Black Deaf adults in a clinical setting. There were two phases of this project. Phase 1 included qualitative interviews with service providers of black deaf people to ascertain the type of culturally tailored interventions that are in place for this population. 5 themes emerged: systemic issues, mental health implications, intervention, cultural humility, and Black Deaf culture. Phase 2 consisted of a survey including demographics and self-report measures of depression, anxiety, identity development, and coping behaviors to understand the interrelations of identity development and mental health among the Black Deaf population. This study hypothesized that a stronger or healthier cultural identity will lead to better psychological well-being. Results suggest that this is true as lower stages of identity development were related to symptoms of depression and use of denial as a coping strategy. For clinicians providing culturally responsive care they should be intentional and a make genuine decision to see, respect, and celebrate the aspects that make Black Deaf adults unique. It should be an acknowledgement of their intersectional existence in the world while acknowledging their own bias and blind spots. Cultivating culturally responsive mental health care means fostering an environment where clients are fully seen in all aspects of their identity through a holistic, antiracist, antiaudist approach to therapy.
