Gallaudet
(1787–1851), celebrated today as the founder of deaf education in America. His work in the fields of deaf education, free common schools, literacy, teacher education and certification, and children's books, as well as his role in reactionary causes intended to uphold a white, Protestant nation thought to have existed in New England's golden past.
Gallaudet
's youthful social and political entanglements included involvement with Connecticut's conservative, state-established Congregational Church, the Federalist Party, and the Counter-Enlightenment ideals of Yale (where he was a student). He later embraced anti-immigrant, anti-abolition, and anti-Catholic efforts, and supported the expatriation of free African-Americans to settlements on Africa's west coast. As much a history of the paternalistic, bigoted, and class-conscious roots of a reform movement as a story of one man's life, this landmark work will surprise and enlighten both the hearing and Deaf worlds. Author Edna Edith Sayers was a professor of English at
Gallaudet
University, the famous school for the deaf in Washington, D.C."--Provided by publisher.
