![]() | The Deaf Mute Howls Originally published in 1930, The Deaf Mute Howls flew in the face of the accepted practice of teaching deaf children to speak and read lips while prohibiting the use of sign language. The sharp observations in Albert Ballin's remarkable book detail his experiences (and those of others) at a late 19th-century residential school for deaf students and his frustrations as an adult seeking acceptance in the majority hearing society. Albert Ballin (1867-1933) worked as a fine artist, a lithographer, and as an actor in silent-era films. He died in 1933. |
