Today I would like to encourage ya'll to get the newest edition of Reading Between the Signs by Anna Mindess with Thomas K. Holcimb, Daniel Langholtz and Priscilla Moyers. In 1999, this book changed the way interprters looked at intercultural communication. It made clearer than ever before that knowing how to sign is not enough. One must have a cultural understanding of involved stakeholders.
This book explores practical applications of the interpreter's role and has been updated to discuss the recent changes in technology that have had a profound impact on Deaf Culture and sign language interpreting: VRS and VRI.
And for those of you who stumbled across this site and are not planning to become interpreters, I still recommend this book. If you are interested in Deafness at all, or even in a broader study of culture, you will learn something new. I can almost guarantee it.
