Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, like
a number of other feminists from the global south, approaches democracy as
subject to critique as part of the legacy of imperialism. From this
perspective, democracy is not a simple solution to the needs and desires for
the subaltern and other poor of the global south, but serves as a type of
dystopia for subalterns, tribals, and other outcastes under decolonized India,
the War on Terror, and postcolonial socio-political relations.
