Reviews
Historian and documentarian Lang has put together a thorough, visually stunning study of deaf people's contributions to the US Civil War. This slightly oversized volume, printed on glossy paper, is a handsome addition to any library., The deaf experience, in its various manifestations, emerges from the silence in this engaging journey of mid-nineteenth-century America. Like an impressionist master, Lang deftly inserts deaf people into the grander narrative of American history and, in particular, the American Civil War., Harry G. Lang's Fighting in the Shadows: Untold Stories of Deaf People in the Civil War is an impressive text even before one lifts the cover. Large and heavy, the size of a coffee table book, a quick flip through the pages reveals beautiful formatting, with numerous photographs and images of primary source material. But the design isn't the only impressive thing about this book. Lang, scientist-turned-historian and Professor Emeritus at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology, has skillfully woven together dozens of stories from and about deaf and hard of hearing Americans who lived through the Civil War., The American Civil War has been viewed through countless lenses over the last 150-plus years. Lang's view, through the diverse experiences of deaf men and women who lived it, is a revelation. The individual stories of those on both sides of the conflict, who stepped out of the acoustic shadows to stand up for their beliefs, inspire and raise awareness of the contributions of deaf people in our society., Harry Lang's groundbreaking study shows that in an era with little inclination and few resources to accommodate them, deaf people during the Civil War displayed courage, ingenuity, and sacrifice. Fighting in the Shadows presents portraits of deaf patriots, soldiers, poets, and others determined to make a contribution to the outcome of the conflict. It also augments our understanding of the war's impact on civilians., Harry Lang's new book is visually stunning and the culmination of a massive project. Undoubtedly Fighting in the Shadow' s addition to the deaf historiography represents an important contribution from Lang--it is the first historical book on deaf people in the Civil War. This book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in deaf history. It also belongs on the shelf of any serious Civil War scholar., Fighting in the Shadows should be viewed as a very successful work which will enlighten the general public and give new insight into a subject which has not received the exposure which it deserves.
