English 2601E Lecture Notes - Lecture 40: Hijab
Document Summary
Depending on how you choose to read this text you will get a different angle. Women get treated badly in these orthodox societies. The move to the west can be an improvement, but in some ways they are worse off than the others. She doesn"t want to blame any particular group, not the west or east. She makes no effort to skew the truth. Lachin is gay, doesn"t want to tell aziz. By not being an intrusive text it allows considerable scope for interpretation. Ideal response would be to not exclude these people from our vision. These people are just like us, they just are born in a rough country. They hold down 2-3 jobs while the men are proud and don"t work. This book is an approach to the treatment of women. Traditional religious approach to marriage, not much sympathy for women. The treatment of the girl who wears the hijab.
