ABSTRACT
Aligning with Spivak’s view, this book in general, and this chapter in particular, argue the subaltern does speak up against social wrongs. The subaltern is not always what Fanon (1963) calls the “wretched of the Earth”. The subaltern can also be working-class people who have managed to become university professors. Participants in this book, often perceived and treated as subaltern, used testimonios to denounce linguistic and racial inequities they faced in American society at large and in higher education in particular.
