| Summary: | This book gathers twenty-six papers from the proceedings of the Sixth Deaf History International Conference, held in Berlin in 2006. The overarching theme is the evolution of the treatment of deaf people from persecution and exclusion in the ancient world and the Middle Ages to more tolerant treatment and education in the nineteenth century, then to sterilization and murder during the Second World War, and finally to postwar emancipation and acceptance as a linguistic minority. The papers deal with the treatment of the deaf in many countries, including France, Britain, Germany, the United States, Russia, Sweden, Israel, and Finland. |
