Press blurb:  In the 2010s, leaders of the DeafBlind community in Seattle
called into question the community's dependence on sighted interpreters and
sought new ways of communicating, interacting, and navigating through
touch. This effort became the "protactile movement," and it spread quickly
across the country. *In Going Tactile*, 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.
