About this product
Product Information
From the 17th to the early 20th century, the population of Martha's Vineyard manifested an extremely high rate of hereditary deafness. In contrast to the experience of most Deaf people, Deaf Vineyarders were thoroughly integrated into the daily life of the community. How was this possible?

Reviews
Brilliantly argued and lively...[Groce's] information consists of the oral history she herself garnered from some 50 witnesses, almost all more than 75 years old, and the documents in print and in manuscript that cross-check and extend their first-hand accounts. Human genetic theory, ethnographic counterparts and a clear-eyed account of social attitudes are the analytic tools that form her brief and telling work...[A] persuasive and compassionate investigation., Fascinating... Groce accomplishes much just by pointing out that 'handicaps' are something a culture creates, and thus the joint responsibility of us all. That's what places this book squarely within the best tradition of anthropological writing, and makes it both moving and encouraging., When is deafness neither handicap nor stigma? When, as this remarkable book recounts, the entire hearing community learns from childhood to be bilingual in conventional speech and sign language, and when the deaf are wholly integrated into the community's social, economic, religious, and recreational life...A vivid ethnography of a hearing community's full acceptance of, and adaptation to, deafness. Groce also constructs a fascinating ethnohistory of this genetic disorder., Brilliantly argued and lively...
