I mean, when did you first hear the phrase 'Deaf culture'? When did you become aware that Deaf people were 'different,' that they valued different things than hearing people, that their manners were different, that they did things in their own way: that happened for me fairly early in my association with them, some seventeen years ago. But 'Deaf culture'? That's fairly new.

Certainly, in my conscious mind, it came some time in the '80s. Maybe I'm slow-nothing new in that.

But here comes Sherman Wilcox to remind us that Charrow and Wilbur (1975) and Mow (1970) and Meadow (1972) have been talking about 'deaf culture' (the big D came to us in 1980, courtesy of Carol Padden) for years!

Her comments on the deep connection between American Sign Language and Deaf people's sense of power deriving from it are affecting, to say the least. The fact that her observations still move us is all the more telling. Mow's biting expos6 of a 'grass roots' Deaf person still gets me every time I read it (notice that Jacobs gave Mow national exposure in his own landmark work in 1974). Some of the chapters focus on language and language use in their discussions of culture. Humphries, Martin & Coye, Hall, and Wilcox all discuss how language gets used in one or another aspect of the Deaf experience.
