Title: Mediocre coverage of an incredible event
Review: The uprising at Gallaudet University and the "Deaf President Now" campaign were the culmination of a long and fascinating history of the Deaf people and culture. Interesting as the events were, however, this book is not the place to be introduced to them. The writing is mediocre at best, and oftentimes reads like a junior high school essay. And as was mentioned by another reviewer, the bias just bleeds off the page. Key players are either hero-worshipped or vilified, with little ground in-between.In short, the book rattles off a sequence of events like a child's report on some foreign country, but captures no essence of the excitement and tenseness that must have been present.For a much better account, I'd recommend the third chapter of "Seeing Voices" by Oliver Sacks. Sacks was also an eyewitness to the protests, albeit in a somewhat detached, observational role, but his writing better captures the emotion and power of this extraordinary historical event.
