Writing System-A Savior to the Hmong?

In the beginning of Writing from these Roots, Duffy talks about literacy and rhetoric. He incorporates different definitions for each that really caught my attention. On the other hand, what surpirsed me, was that he is only concerned about thinking about literacy from a "writing system" viewpoint. Some of the authors we have studied before view literacy more than just the practice of pen and paper; it's something more complex. I did, however, connect the practice of memorization and copying to that of the Amish literacy. Yet, by Duffy viewing literacy the way he does (to some point) he limits readers to see the Hmong as "literate" people.
What I have learned so far is that the Hmong are literate. They were a functioning community and had ways of communication and transmitting messages even after the destruction of their books.

Here are some questions to think about..

So do you think the writing system for the Hmong could be the answer to all their problems?
Do you think it could be the great "savior" of all the people?
Do you think the writing system helped them to establish their own true Hmong identity?
