Demands for authentic participation arise from disenfranchisement and misrecognition experience.
Evidence
To challenge a range of cultural, political, and structural obstacles constructed by cultural degradation, political oppression, and lack of political access, communities and movement groups are coming to demand a voice and authentic participation. The demand for this type of authentic, community-based participation comes out of the process of disenfranchisement, the experience of misor malrecognition and/or a frustration with the debilitation of capabilities. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 278
