Where it came from
Published in 1943 by the Macmillan Company, this comprehensive volume was written by Harry Best, a sociologist and advocate for the deaf community who was himself deaf. Best’s work served as a landmark sociological study, seeking to move beyond the medical or clinical perspectives that dominated the era to examine the demographic, educational, and legal realities of deaf citizens in America.
The book is notable for its deliberate attempt to rectify linguistic biases, specifically the author's rejection of the term 'deaf-mutes' as an inaccurate classification of the community. Through a meticulously documented analysis of institutions, schools, and social conditions, Best intended to present a factual basis for social policy reform. The volume remains a cornerstone text for researchers interested in the history of disability studies and the evolution of American attitudes toward communication and language.
