This timely and thought-provoking volume is an important contribution to Deaf Studies. The contributors, most of them Deaf, critically examine Deaf culture, Deaf arts and music, the oppressive forces faced by Deaf people, the diversity within the Deaf community, and suggest critical pedagogy as a vehicle to challenge oppression.

This book is a timely and thought-provoking book and an important contribution to the expanding transdisciplinary field of Deaf Studies. Authors, most of whom are Deaf, critically examine aspects of Deaf culture, reflect on diversity within the Deaf community, and advocate for the recognition of Deaf people as a linguistic-cultural minority. Grounded in critical pedagogy as its theoretical framework, the book highlights the persistent oppressive forces faced by Deaf people and also the challenges to these oppressive forces to promote social justice through acts of resistance and affirmation, particularly expressed through the arts, including music.
