Deaf General Bibliography

by Karen Nakamura
[N/A] accesses since October 31, 1998.

In general, Amazon.com is an excellent resource for finding and buying Deaf related books. Run "Deaf" or "American Sign Language" as search topics in their search engine. LARW also has an annotated bibliography of over 250 books from Amazon.com on related Deaf and hard of hearing topics.

This list itself hasn't been updated since 1999, so it's a little dated....

Here are some selected books from my reading list that might interest you if you want to learn more about the American Deaf and hard of hearing communities:

Top Ten "Must Reads" for Learning about the Deaf / HOH Communities

Favorite Sign Language Dictionaries

These two are my two favorite sign language dictionaries:

Academic Texts

Various books that are interesting reads:


Academic Bibliography

At this point, this academic bibliography focuses on Ph.D. or Masters theses involving the history, culture, anthropology or sociology of Deaf communities, cultural information about the Deaf community, and ASL linguistics.

Unfortunately, my finances and time resources don't allow me to send people copies of material in the bibliography. Please ask your local university research library to obtain material through interlibrary loan or other sources. I cannot send anything! Sorry! I'm also not able to update this bibliography regularly, so some of the material may be out of date.

You might also want to try the International Bibligraphy of Sign Language:

I have a difficult time answering "Do I know XXX or YYY" type questions since all of the books that I know about are in this bibliography or located on the main web site. So if you don't find relevant information here, I most probably am ignorant about it. Unfortunately, due to my other committments, I cannot help people write their term papers or reports, you'll need to do the legwork yourself.
