The Hidden Treasure of Black ASL: Its History and Structure by Robert Bayley, Ceil Lucas, Carolyn McCaskill
4.0
If we divide the book into history and structure, I really liked the history, but was less enthralled with the structure.
I'm a black, hearing, non-native ASL user.
As a doc student, I read a lot of research with APA formatted graphs. That's not where I go for pleasure most of the time. The information was wonderful, the examples as clear as they could have been in print. The book comes with a DVD that I've been unable to access, but that I'm sure would only enhance the experience.
The first time I came across this book I was citing it for a class so I read it differently. It's wonderful as a reference tool and accessible for people comfortable reading peer-reviewed journal articles.
