This week's readings focus on ethnic minority groups overall. Johnsson's reading focuses on the national colors and the use of propaganda. There has been the use of ethnic minority groups in order to push propaganda and a national agenda. There is debate of whether or not it is appropriate to use EMG's in propaganda--is it tokenization or representation?
Furthermore, the question of hijab and fashion comes into debate as well. Is hijab fashion? Also, notions of development come into play in the discourse of the hijab. The debate occurs at the lines between whether or not it aligns with the feminist agenda. Western feminism considers the hijab to be a form of oppression while Muslim-identified women just merely want the choice of whether or not to wear the hijab. The hijab as fashion shows how fashion reflects the development of a nation.
