Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deaf people are subject to different concepts of the deaf and disabled, and their place within society. There is a danger that some deaf people will become marginalized within the prevailing policy or service framework, which, in itself, mitigates against full rights, choice and participation. There is therefore a great need to identify a common language for the experience of oppression and empowerment which all deaf people can share without sacrificing their rights to self-definition.
