This book is a timely and thought-provoking book and an important contribution to the expanding transdisciplinary field of Deaf Studies. Authors, most of them Deaf, critically examine aspects of Deaf culture, with a special focus on music, reflect on diversity within the Deaf community, and support the notion of Deaf people as a linguistic-cultural minority. The book furthermore highlights the persistent oppressive forces faced by Deaf people, acts of resistance and affirmation expressed especially through the arts, and suggests critical pedagogy to challenge oppressive forces to advance social justice for Deaf people.
