Beschreibung
We Are CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) is a heartfelt family narrative which captures the life of two Deaf parents raising their ten hearing children.
Chronicled by one of the children, Madeleine, the book offers a deeply personal perspective into Madeleine's unique upbringing, navigating both the Deaf and hearing worlds from childhood into adulthood. Through her experiences, she sheds light on the significant impact this dual existence has had on her life.
This memoir provides a rare glimpse into the diverse and vibrant Deaf community, bridging the often-overlooked language and cultural divide between Deaf and hearing cultures.
The book stands out as one of the first documented accounts by a CODA in the UK, making it an essential contribution to understanding the complexities of growing up in a Deaf-hearing family. Through this personal journey, Madeleine offers readers an authentic portrayal of the challenges and beauty inherent in her family's story.
"Madeleine shows life as a CODA is different from the norm." DR NEIL J ALDERMAN
