Description

This book examines ethnic, linguistic, and cultural patterns of deaf living and identity among ethnic Hungarians in Romania. The authors argue that deaf people tend to develop a "multilingual habitus" due to socialization into two or more cultures from childhood. The earlier chapters focus on providing background to deaf identity, citizenship, and ethnic socialization, while the later chapters focus more on the ethnic Hungarian minority case study.
