«Seeing Voices: A Journey into the World of the Deaf» is Oliver Sacks's essay, published by Pan Macmillan in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Sacks delves into the world of the profoundly deaf and examines the consequences of living in silence: sign language, the neurology of deafness, and the different ways in which deaf and hearing people categorize and communicate their experiences. He also reviews the history of the treatment of deafness and recounts the 1988 student protest at Gallaudet University.
The essay was originally published in 1989.
It will appeal to readers of neurology, linguistics, social history, and those who want to approach deaf culture.
Oliver Wolf Sacks was a British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer.
