BOOK
Being Seen
by Elsa Sjunneson

Elsa Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, hearing and deafness — much to the confusion of the world around her. While she cannot see well enough to operate without a guide dog or cane, she can see enough to know when someone is reacting to the visible signs of her blindness and can hear when they’re whispering behind her back. And she certainly knows how wrong our one-size-fits-all definitions of disability can be. Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part history of the DeafBlind experience, Being Seen explores how our cultural concept of disability is more myth than fact, and the damage it does to us all.
