 A further set of harms often invoked in discussions of cultural appropriation are the harms of misrepresentation and silencing. Misrepresentation can take many forms. For instance, it can present a culture in a false or misleading light. It can traffic in prejudices and stereotypes. It can also present a small aspect of a culture (even if accurate) as representative of the whole, creating a caricature, or present a cultural practice in a context that perverts its meaning (Coleman, Coombe, &amp; MacArailt 2012). Cultural appropriation can also silence members of marginalized cultural groups by skewing public understanding of cultural expertise away from group members and denying group members opportunities and platforms for cultural expression (Keeshig-Tobias 1990; Todd 1990; Hladki 1994; Coombe 1993). These effects can cumulatively lead to the erosion of cultural forms and cultural assimilation of group members (Coleman 2001). Indeed, in light of these effects, some argue that cultural group members may have a political obligation to engage in cultural practices for the sake of cultural preservation (Jeffers 2015).
