Focusing on the significance of deaf clubs, this book offers a pioneering analysis of their role in fostering a distinct deaf community in Britain and beyond. It explores how these social gatherings helped define and celebrate shared experiences of deafness, challenging traditional views of deafness as merely a disability. Drawing on insights from the British Deaf News, the study highlights the communal identity formed through leisure activities, particularly in north-west England during the late twentieth century. This work appeals to scholars of disability, cultural history, and community studies.
