Synopsis

Familiar sounds and shared songs are an integral part of how we build our identities and a sense of place. But for deaf individuals, this missing piece can create a feeling of distance, fueling a desire to seek out community in different ways. In this revolutionary new book, Jan-Kare Breivik profiles ten deaf Norwegians and their search for identity, providing an international perspective on the connectivity of deaf people worldwide.
