Produktbeschreibung
This book shares life experiences from a qualitative inquiry in Rural Kenya where deafness is conceptualized as an extreme driver of social exclusion. Researchers triangulate data to find out if schooling breaks the vicious cycle of poverty in disability plagued families. They attempt to unearth the complexities youth face after exiting school revealing challenges they deal with as they weave into college, job market, social spaces and starting families. Excerpts highlight sensitive emotions parents bear in navigating vulnerable situations; coming to terms with disability, stigma, schooling challenges and financial burden placed on families due to chronic ailments. This text provides educators, parents, policy developers, disability advocates, counselors, practitioners and all stakeholders with invaluable insights about the world of deafness highlighting attitudes, prejudice and disregard metered towards these youth. It is a critical guide to psychology and culture of the deaf; an insight into the world of deafness in a non-responsive world. The overarching question is How do these youth in their quest for fulfilling lives balance between deaf culture and a world of the hearing?
