The Intermarriage Of The Deaf Its Mental, Moral And Social Tendencies (1887)

The Intermarriage Of The Deaf: Its Mental, Moral And Social Tendencies is a book written by Hiram Phelps Arms and first published in 1887. The book focuses on the topic of intermarriage between individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Arms explores the mental, moral, and social implications of deaf intermarriage, drawing upon his experience as a teacher at the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. He argues that intermarriage between deaf individuals can lead to the perpetuation of deafness in future generations, and that this can have negative consequences for the deaf community as a whole. The book also examines the social and economic challenges faced by deaf individuals, including discrimination and limited career opportunities. Arms argues that intermarriage between deaf individuals can exacerbate these challenges, and that it is therefore important for deaf individuals to consider the broader implications of their choices when it comes to marriage and family planning. Overall, The Intermarriage Of The Deaf provides a historical perspective on the issue of deaf intermarriage, and offers insights into the social and cultural attitudes towards deafness in the late 19th century. The book remains a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history of deafness and disability studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
