Damara Goff Paris and Sharon Kay Wood (eds), Step Into the Circle: The Heartbeat of American Indian, Alaska Native, and First Nations Deaf Communities. (2002) Anthology of fiction and essays by d/Deaf American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and First Nations members.
Mary Herring Wright, Sounds like Home : Growing up Black and Deaf in the South. (1999) Memoir of growing up black and deaf in the 20s and 30s in North Carolina.
Mary Herring Wright, Far from Home: Memories of WWII and Afterward. (2005) Sequel to the above.
Ernest Hairston and Linwood Smith, Black and Deaf in America: Are We That Different?. (1983) I can't find out much about this, other than that it exists, and that Smith is black and Deaf. (I'm not seeing right off if Hairston is.)
Kenny Wayne Walker, Roar of Silence. (1998) Autobiography of a deaf NFL player.
The next two are DVDs instead of print, but given that ASL is not a written language, and that preservation of ASL is a hugely important issue in the Deaf community, I'm including them under the "book-like things" clause of the FAQ.
Glenn Anderson, Still I Rise: The Enduring Legacy of Black Deaf Arkansans Before and After Integration Interviews documenting the era of segregated schooling and the first integration of the Arkansas School For the Deaf in 1965.
Nathie Marbury, No Hand Me Downs. Autobiographical stories and poems.
