The legacy of Bell

The legacy of Bell

The Invention of Miracles by Katie Booth delve into the life of Alexander Graham Bell, revealing the tension between his celebrated inventions and his troubling legacy in deaf education. Blending personal history with cultural critique, Booth weaves her experiences with her deaf grandmother into a broader exploration of how Bell’s advocacy of oralism—teaching speech and lip-reading over sign language—reshaped the deaf community. His pursuit of assimilation, framed by eugenic ideas, aimed to eliminate deaf identity rather than embrace it. The account exposes how these beliefs fostered generations of language deprivation and eroded deaf culture’s autonomy.
