This effort became the \"protactile movement,\" and it spread quickly across the country. \u003cem\u003eIn Going Tactile\u003c\/em\u003e, Anthropologist Terra Edwards draws on thirty months of ethnographic fieldwork with DeafBlind artists, intellectuals, political leaders, and community members, to show how autonomous spaces away from sighted norms were created and life was re-imagined. In doing so, she offers a new perspective on the nature of language, its limits, and what it means to find a new way of being in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerra Edwards\u003c\/strong\u003e is a linguistic anthropologist in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago.
