Includes bibliographical references and index.
In this revisionist biography of Alexander Graham Bell, the author explores how Bell was an elocution teacher by profession as well as an inventor whose goal was to teach the deaf to speak. And he ultimately became the American deaf community's most powerful enemy as he attempted to stamp out American Sign Language.
