Comments on: What the Québec Debate on the Hijab Conceals http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=731 Marxist Perspectives for the 21st Century Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:41:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Felix Almeida http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=731&cpage=1#comment-2883 Felix Almeida Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:57:04 +0000 http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=731#comment-2883 This article by Benoit Renaud on the Quebecois debate about the Hijab gives exemplary credence to the notion of Cultural Relativism. Renaud admirably transcends the subject of the Hijab and deals instead with the masked face of Neo-colonialism in its new garb: Imperialism. It is in deconstructing this super-ordinate, pernicious, out-of-control nucleus of avarice that we can lay bare the racist, divisive mischief engendered by Imperialism. Thank you for making mention of the hyper-sexualization of adolescence in 'Occidental' societies. It is by prostituing these vulnerable members of our society, merely to advance the cause of consumerism, that we denigrate the once dignified role of the aged, breach the integrity of the family and fracture the cohesion of community. Socialist Voice is a breath of fresh air in this stifling world that is dominated by the corporate media. Feels good to breathe in. Felix Almeida, M.S.W., R.S.W.
