Mother father deaf : living between sound and silence
“Mother father deaf” is the phrase commonly used within the Deaf community to refer to hearing children of deaf parents. Preston, one of these children, takes us to the place where Deaf and Hearing cultures meet. His work is based both on personal experience and on 150 interviews with adult hearing children of deaf parents throughout the U.S.
