Praise for HEARING HAPPINESS

“In her insightful book “Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History,” Virdi probes how society perceives deafness and challenges the idea that a disability is a deficit. Instead, she views deafness and other disabilities as differences that come with the individual’s responsibility for participation, and society often makes such participation difficult.” –Anna Leahy, Washington Post.
