As for Harlan Lane's chapters re: "oppression of the deaf" etc- It struck me as odd being a DEAF person by a hearing person which he is. He tried to transfer from Sociology-"racial difficulties" into hearing interaction. Does all late
deafened persons PRIOR to becoming DEAF experience "oppression from the hearing community"?
From Michael Chorost's book Rebuilt the comments by Mr Attelio of US-National Association of the Deaf changing Lanes ideas there. He was the chairman/person that took 3 years to revise.NAD's ideas-- Cochlear Implants.
One can read varied discussions here in Alldeaf.com re"oral/vs cultural deaf/Deaf/DEAF".
