About this product
Product Information
Miriam Zadek shares her story in this memoir that documents her experiences growing up in a New York Jewish family with both deaf and hearing members from the 1930s through World War II and beyond. Her story is personal and reflective, revealing the sometimes complex and heart-rending dynamics within her family and her community. Through brief and evocative vignettes, Zadek relates her memories of family life, capturing the innocence of childhood, the confusion of adolescence, and then progressing through adulthood. Her recollections evolve from a childlike observance to awareness, pain, and understanding as she matures. Throughout this journey, the author presents a narrative of historical and cultural importance centered on her personal account of the lives of deaf and hearing Jewish people in the mid-twentieth century. The prevailing ideological movements of the time permeate her family life. Zadek reveals the traumatic impact of eugenics and the fears surrounding the genetic transmission of deafness. She considers the effects of adhering to the oral method of communication in her home when sign language could have given her family the ability to interact with each other more fully. In this environment, Zadek became an astute communicator and learned to adapt to both the hearing and the deaf world, where she was known as "Miriam Hearing Sister." Her memoir is an elegant literary work that offers an understanding of how biases and stigmas resonate and evolve, and it showcases her loving family of strong women who pushed against stereotypes and have thrived across generations.

Reviews
The memoir is a captivating series of candid vignettes about Miriam's experiences, growing up in the 1920s, as the only hearing child sandwiched between two Deaf sisters. The themes and family Deaf/Hearing dynamics are authentic, relevant, and timeless., Charts the changing family dynamics of the Zadek family, their surroundings, and the Deaf community. In particular, it primarily explores what it means to be a family member, ally, and sister of Deaf siblings before, during, and after the Second World War. The book deals with key themes in the historical experiences and feelings of families who have members with disabilities: expectations, relationships, parental worries and fears, stigma, assertions of independence and autonomy, and advocacy and alliances.

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!
