About this product
Product Information
Clara Jean Mosley Hall has inhabited various cultural worlds in her life: Native American, African American, Deaf, and hearing. The hearing daughter of a Deaf Nanticoke man, who grew up in Dover, Delaware's Black community in the 1950s and 60s, Hall describes the intersections of these identities in Paris in America. By sharing her father's experiences and relating her own struggles and successes, Hall honors her father's legacy of hard work and perseverance and reveals the complexities of her own unique background. Hall was abandoned by her Deaf African American mother at a young age and forged a close bond with her father, James Paris Mosley, who communicated with her in American Sign Language. Although his family was Native American, they--like many other Nanticoke Native Americans of that region--had assimilated over time into Dover's Black community. Hall vividly recounts the social and cultural elements that shaped her, from Jim Crow to the forced integration of public schools, to JFK and Motown. As a Coda (child of deaf adults) in a time when no accessibility or interpreting services were available, she was her father's sole means of communication with the hearing world, a heavy responsibility for a child. After her turbulent teenage years, and with the encouragement of her future husband, she attended college and discovered that her skills as a fluent ASL user were a valuable asset in the field of education. Hall went on to become a college professor, mentor, philanthropist, and advocate for Deaf students from diverse backgrounds. Her memoir is a celebration of her family, her faith, her journey, and her heritage.

Reviews
While the theme of Deafness transcends the entire memoir, the themes of complex social constructs are significant to the development of Mosley Hall's story. This story was quick to read and written for accessibility of a larger audience. The social themes were a critical part of this story and could be used to discuss difficult topics in an inviting manner...the reader could easily read this memoir for pleasure or for deep discussion., While the theme of Deafness transcends the entire memoir, the themes of complex social constructs are significant to the development of Mosley Hall's story. This story was quick to read and written and written for accessibility of a larger audience. The social themes were a critical part of this story and could be used to discuss difficult topics in an inviting manner...the reader could easily read this memoir for pleasure or for deep discussion., Several major themes run through Paris in America that may be of special interest to history scholars. Hall inhabited many cultural worlds, and her story takes place against the backdrop of the civil rights movement; perhaps unsurprisingly, race and identity play a central role in the book. Family, friends, music, and the author's irrepressible spirit suffuse the book, and she closes by reiterating the importance of gratitude, persistence, and enthusiasm.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
