JFK's UN ambassador Adlai Stevenson pushed for the diplomatic approach that ended up saving Planet Earth in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then the White House put out leaks intended to destroy his reputation, in order not to look "weak." https://t.co/62G2lv1oxa
Praise for this book
Brueggemann brings impressive credentials to this project. . .providing an interesting discussion of the irony that deaf children are being mainstreamed and kept away from ASL-"CHOICE",
"Both rhetoric and disability studies are enhanced by Brueggemann's juxtapositions in Deaf Subjects by, for instance, using rhetorical theory to illuminate the performative dimensions of American Sign Language and the Nazi T-4 project. Fascinating and essential reading for students and scholars in both fields."
-Anne Ruggles Gere, University of Michigan
"At times serious, funny, irreverent, and always thoughtful, this is the most challenging book yet written about deafness--challenging in making us think better and in breaking new ground. Clearly a must-read."
-Lennard Davis, author of "Obsession: A History"
