Gayatri spivak talks about the trajectory of the subaltern in her work.

"Can the subaltern speak"(1988)

Marginalised grouis have no "voice".

"My position is generally a reactive one. I am viewed by Marxists as too codic, by feminists as too male identified, by indigenous theorists as too committed to western theory. I am uneasily pleased about this."

Gayatri Chakravorty spivak is the translator of Jacques Derrida's De la Grammatologie. She introduced deconstructive critical strategies into cultural studies, especially feminism. Deconstruction underlines the inherent capacity of the language to suggest 'supplementary' or excess semantic associations.
