    • Abstract:
      Raymond Antrobus, a Jamaican British poet and educator, shares his experiences with deaf communities around the globe in an interview. He discusses the different sign languages in Jamaica, the challenges faced by deaf communities in conflict-torn regions like Ukraine and Palestine, and the varying levels of support and inclusion for deaf individuals in different countries. Antrobus highlights the importance of proper training for interpreters, the economic barriers to receiving care, and the disproportionate cases of police violence towards deaf individuals. Despite the challenges, he also mentions positive developments in deaf art and hopes for greater global acceptance and inclusion of deaf artists and communities. [Extracted from the article]
