Martin Atherton is Retired Course Leader for British Sign Language and Deaf Studies at the University of Central Lancashire
A case study of deaf people's leisure in England within a wider British context and gives insights into a misunderstood, misrepresented community. It questions perceptions of deafness as a disability and shows the importance of shared leisure in community formation and how changing patterns of socialisation are affecting British society.
