Intercultural Communication for Sign Language Interpreters

In the first edition of Reading Between the Signs, author Anna Mindess provides a new perspective on a unique culture that is not widely understood - American deaf culture. With the collaboration of distinguished consultants Thomas Holcomb, Daniel Langholtz and Priscilla Moyers, Mindess explores the implications of cultural differences at the intersection of the Deaf and hearing worlds.

This new third edition includes a new chapter exploring the changing landscape of the interpreting field and discusses the concepts of Deafhood and Deaf heart. A new examination of the use of Deaf interpreters pays respect to our roots, details specific techniques and describes the benefits of working together. [Anna Mindess; (2014) 333 pages; soft cover]
