Sign language interpreting: deconstructing the myth of neutrality

Abstract

This study provides a look at the games and events that deaf people have organized for themselves. It is a look at the psychological forces that have influenced the development of cultural activities that are by and for the deaf community. The book gives an analysis of the sociological forces that have combined to create a community open to all deaf people regardless of race, education or social background. It takes readers to the schools to illustrate the responsibility that all people, deaf and hearing, have in making sure that young, deaf children have access to all that deaf sport has to offer.
