Reviews
In this essential telling of a unique perspective of DPN, Bravin reveals the power of Deaf leadership and the quest for self-determination. I hope his book inspires more people to share their stories and insights. We keep moving forward with humility and gratitude for those who paved the way for us., Bravin adds a vital perspective not shared previously. He provides an insider's perspective of the Board of Trustees' decision process during an event that eventually became a watershed moment for Gallaudet University and the Deaf community...The organization of this book will appeal to educators, members of the Deaf community, and those new to Deaf culture., This book provides a unique firsthand account from a former board member of how the Deaf President Now (DPN) movement toppled hearing domination within the deaf community. This will be an important blueprint for readers on how a minority group and marginalized community controlled by the majority liberated themselves from years of oppression to control its own destiny., In Phil Bravin's marvelous book, we learn about the selection process for a new president at Gallaudet that was chaired by Bravin. Out of 87 candidates, his committee sent three names to the board--two deaf candidates and a hearing candidate. The board, overwhelmingly hearing members, chose the hearing candidate by a 10-4 vote with only one hearing board member voting for the deaf candidate. Bravin, who is also deaf, joined the minority deaf members in voting for I. King Jordan. Days later, overcoming long odds, Bravin and Jordan were key players in the Deaf President Now (DPN) movement that included students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other civil rights activists to insist on a deaf president, the resignation of the hearing board chair, and a plan for a majority deaf board. The DPN protesters closed the university, marched on the White House and the U.S. Capitol, and told their compelling story to the world. The newly elected hearing candidate withdrew, and Jordan was elected president and Bravin the chair of the board. Jordan and Bravin went on to compile an amazing record of achievements for Gallaudet and the deaf community. Their wisdom and courage was matched by the leadership of the DPN movement and their followers. Together they made history and paved the way two years later for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)., To read Controlling Our Destiny is to be a fly that time travels to 1988 and is on the wall during Gallaudet Board of Trustee deliberations--those that triggered the Deaf President Now movement as well as those that brought it to a favorable end. This book provides an opportunity for readers to gain insights into a part of history previously unavailable to anyone not directly involved in the board deliberations. Phil Bravin does an excellent job of outlining the process by which the presidential search began, moved, and ended--as well as how the board dealt with the aftermath. As Bravin makes clear, the board's actions unintentionally led to a historic civil rights shift for Deaf people in the USA and around the world, shattering glass ceilings for many Deaf people as well as people with disabilities. This book is also timely in emphasizing that self-representation of any group is an absolute requirement, and that every board director has an obligation to ensure their composition reflects the population they serve.
