Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in her scholarship on subaltern social groups problematizes civil society movements’ claims of representing the oppressed by arguing that:
- Historically sedimented epistemic violence embedded in dominant discourses prevents recovery of authentic subaltern consciousness.
- Strategic essentialism in identity politics contradicts the heterogeneity within any marginalized social category.
- Peaceful civil resistance requires preparatory building of collective socio-cultural capital and leadership.
