Journey beyond silence.This second book is based on my Hispanic autobiography both in Mexico and in America. There are also true stories of several deaf Mexicans. It reveals how we, as Deaf Hispanics, have been able to become achievers in spite of overwhelming oppression from some audists, and distressing communication barriers. Journey beyond silenceis a series of expanded and overlooked historical facts, which give interested readers a deeper understanding of the current educational and governmental problems influencing Deaf Mexicans. The purpose for these guidebooks is to enhance better communication and relationships with families, teachers at various schools, and hearing friends.
The lives of Deaf Mexicans. Struggle and success: This DVD shows how some of the deaf people live in Mexico City and reveals candid interviews. Some individual deaf use oral methods and/or varied languages to communicate. Most deaf individuals use LSM (language Sign Mexican) and happily there are subtitles, both in English and Spanish voicing! The interviewers discuss their prospects regarding their education and LSM and why it is such an important issue. They share their experiences of living productive lives as well as having of successful careers or businesses. This is a grand achievement considering how the majority of Deaf individuals still struggle to even have access to sign language and an education. The DVD is based on true inspiring stories.

WASLI. Scenes from Segovia. The Sign Language Association started in 1995 so that interpreters could become accredited and certified. Their aim is to expand and to have sign language recognised by the government, but the government doesn’t actually acknowledge that the language exists so linguistics are trying to prove to them it does. There are 36 interpreters training in 9 states. There is 1 interpreter certified from the USA and there re 4 trainers. We would like WASLI to help us get together documents that will aid us to lobby government.

Faurot, K., D. Dellinger, A. Eatough, and S. Parkhurst. (2000). The identity of Mexican sign as a language. This paper addresses the question, “Is Mexican Sign Language (LSM) a distinct language, with a linguistic and sociolinguistic identity of its own?” We have examined LSM from three different angles. Is LSM different from other sign languages, particularly American Sign Language (ASL)? Is LSM different from the national spoken language which surrounds the Deaf3 community? Are there regional dialects of LSM which are significantly different from each other?

Mayan sign languages [Lenguaje Mímico Maya] are used in Mexico and Guatemala by Maya communities with unusually high numbers of deaf inhabitants. In some instances, both hearing and deaf members of a village may use the sign language. These sign languages are thought to be unrelated to both the "national sign languages" of Mexico (Mexican Sign Language) and Guatemala (Guatemalan Sign Language), as well as the local spoken Mayan languages and Spanish.
