about the Deaf Community
HPO is written for people who have questions
about Deaf culture, sign language,
and Deaf life in general,
and need a quick answer.
It's for students and casual readers taking a peek into this subject for the first time.
It can be used as a handy in-class or supplementary text in beginning ASL, Deaf Studies, or Introduction to Deaf Culture classes. In response to the requests we've gotten from teachers, the fourth edition contains more footnotes and citations.
HPO has become Deaf Life Press's best-selling book!
When we began monthly publication ofDEAF LIFE in July 1988, we recognized the need to include an informative column written especially for our hearing readers, featuring commonly asked questions (some of them sent in by our readers, others based on questions we ourselves had been asked time and time again) with our responses. "For Hearing People Only" became one of our most enduringly popular features–perhapsthe most popular.

High-Quality Contents
It is not intended to be an in-depth excursion into a vast and complex subject, but to provide accurate and provocative answers to over a hundred persistent questions.
Each chapter is designed as an independent unit
focusing on one topic.
Our foremost concern is to provide honest answers to people's questions. Our perspective is based on our own experiences as deaf persons and members of the Deaf community, and embodies a Deaf viewpoint—
a viewpoint that is often suppressed, distorted, or disregarded in "mainstream" media coverage.

A masterpiece! Something long overdue in Deaf America ... a valuable resource material in generating a sense of integration, collaboration, partnership and reciprocity among all concerned, deaf and hearing alike.

I loved this book! It was required reading for a Deaf Culture course I took in college and this book made me want to keep reading even after I had finished the assigned chapters. It is broken up into smaller sections that cover important topics. If you are interested in learning more about the Deaf World, I strongly recommend this book.
