Description
Summary:"In the 1870s, two deaf students, Manuel Tinoco and Patricio Garcia, resisted the physical abuse they received and set the stage for the growth of a Deaf identity that opposed the deprecating medical model of deafness. Marcelina Ruiz Ricote y Fernandez, a hearing female teacher who taught from 1869 to 1897, combated the school's sexist policies. This fascinating history concludes with Martin de Martin y Ruiz, the most famous deaf-blind student from the Madrid school. Through these portraits, Plann has brought life to the major issues that defined education in nineteenth-century Spain, themes that have influenced the status of deaf Spaniards today."--BOOK JACKET.
