BOOK
Touch the Future
by John Lee Clark
Born Deaf into an ASL-speaking family and blind by adolescence, John Lee Clark learned to embrace the possibilities of his tactile world. He is on the frontlines of the Protactile movement, which gave birth to an unprecedented tactile language and a way of life based on physical connection. In a series of essays, Clark reports on seismic developments within the DeafBlind community. He interrogates the prevailing advocacy for "accessibility" that recreates a shadow of a hearing-sighted experience. Also advocating for "Co-Navigation," a new way of guiding that respects DeafBlind agency. As warm and witty as he is radical and inspiring, Clark welcomes listeners into the exciting Protactile landscape and celebrates the hidden knowledge that can be gained through touch.
