Hand, Heart, and Mind: The Story of the Education of America's Deaf People

Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"Grade 5 Up-This book not only addresses the controversy concerning the virtues of oralism v. manualism, but also focuses on deaf people's struggle for civil rights. The well-written text covers education of the deaf from ancient Greece to the present, with particular attention paid to the raging debate between Alexander Graham Bell and Edward Miner Gallaudet over the proper method of communication. Also included is a section dealing with the 1988 Gallaudet University revolt, when student protests were successful in seeing a deaf man appointed president of the university. The text is well organized, interest-holding, and thoughtfully presented. Informative black-and-white photographs of average quality appear throughout." -School Library Journal, Christine A.
