From the seventeenth century to the early years of the twentieth, the population of Martha’s Vineyard manifested an extremely high rate of profound hereditary deafness. In stark contrast to the experience of most deaf people in our own society, the Vineyarders who were born deaf were so thoroughly integrated into the daily life of the community that they were not seen—and did not see themselves—as handicapped or as a group apart. Deaf people were included in all aspects of life, such as town politics, jobs, church affairs, and social life. How was this possible? On the Vineyard, hearing and deaf islanders alike grew up speaking sign language. This unique sociolinguistic adaptation meant that the usual barriers to communication between the hearing and the deaf, which so isolate many deaf people today, did not exist.

As Nora Groce studied the full acceptance and adaptation hearing people had on the integration of deaf individuals into the community’s social, economic, religious, and recreational life, she also structures a captivating ethnohistory of a genetic disorder that lasted centuries in Martha’s Vineyard.While Nora investigated the profound hereditary deafness in Southeastern Massachusetts, the Vineyarders who were born deaf were fully integrated into daily life. Deaf individuals were included in all aspects of involvement, such as town politics, jobs, church affairs, and social events making it clear that being “handicapped” is an idea a culture creates. Sociolinguistic adaptations were continued throughout inbreeding on the Island carrying on the traditions of treating these individuals just like everyone else. Hearing people had a responsibility to pick up the ways of the deaf population by learning Sign Language which not only advanced themselves intellectually but also advanced the means of culture.Nora’s writing style is very entertaining full of declarative statements that would make beings question where they stand with the evolving society. Her interviews and research from the seventy-five individuals who lived and interacted with their deaf neighbors and friends were included as evidence to how strong of an impact this genetic disorder had. Having stories drag on with unorganized examination made it difficult to keep track of whether or not the information was relevant.With the creative intentions and humor from involving both research and interviewee responses, the constant jumping back and forth made for a lack of a story but rather a lengthy informational pamphlet. If you are a person that invests their time questioning science, this book is the perfect demonstration of the “why’s,” “who’s,” and “how’s” for not only the hereditary gene for deafness but opens possibilities for other hereditary genes as well.If Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language was a good read for you, A Place of Their Own by John Vickery Van Cleve, is another dive into the history of deafness and the involvement of deaf individuals integrating in society largely through schools.
