Disability publications in the U.S. : ウィキペディア英語版 | Disability publications in the U.S.
In the early 20th century, having a disabling condition was still a source of social stigma and people with disabilities were excluded from many of the activities of U.S. society, including participation in the creation of popular culture via creative writing or reportage. People with disabilities had no control over their depiction in media run by, and catering to, the non-disabled majority and were generally represented by inaccurate and denigrating stereotypes, including well-meant but patronizing characterizations. This inability to speak for themselves, particularly on public policy issues directly affecting them, motivated different groups representing people with particular disabilities to begin their own publications. == The Deaf community ==
The Deaf community has a long history of publications in this country. The North Carolina School for the Deaf began the first publication for deaf persons in 1848 with its school newspaper, ''The Deaf Mute''. The American Deaf community is unique by being tied together not only by lack of hearing, but also by a linguistic tradition, American Sign Language, which they identify as forging their Deaf culture. Deafness-related publications started when states began building residential schools for deaf children in the mid-19th century. These schools used sign language to teach and employed many deaf teachers. Thus, these schools became a location for the transmission of deaf culture to deaf children, and they began their own newspapers at these schools to help cement their community. After the North Carolina school published the first school newspaper, soon each school followed suit. These were known as The Little Paper family. They exchanged items of interest and stories and generally transmitted the deaf community back to itself. Histories of American Schools for the Deaf reports that in 1893 that there were 50 of these residential school newspapers and they generously exchanged each other's news. A study of the Little Papers and found that they provided a significant cultural forum for the deaf community to discuss important political events affecting the community, as well as small news events such as a new stained glass window at a school.
