I will be writing my second major novel called Innocents of Oppression and will be published by Leicester based publisher Action Deafness Books in the autumn of 2011. It is a coming of age story about a close friendship between two adolescent Deaf boys in an oral boarding school. Powerful, poignant and eminently controversial, Innocents of Oppression will take the reader through the 1970s' – and beyond – deaf education experience that will integrate various real-life accounts and experiences of those who were in Deaf education as well as other thought-provoking issues and nostalgic aspects. Steve Crump of Action Deafness Books describes Innocents of Oppression’ ias a story that will transport you to a different place and time. It will provoke and inspire. It’s an amazing window into the lives of the countless number of profoundly deaf children who were schooled in the oral tradition. Read my future blog posts about this book.
There is a dedicated Innocents of Oppression Facebook Group Page. From September 2010 onwards, a series of questions will be posted into it to ask for your accounts and experiences in Deaf education. Anyone in Facebook can join the page. |
