Elite Capture by Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò
How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else)
In this insightful exploration of social justice movements, the author delves into the concept of elite capture, where powerful individuals or groups co-opt progressive causes for their own benefit, often sidelining the voices of those they claim to represent. The narrative examines how this phenomenon undermines genuine efforts for change, highlighting the importance of maintaining focus on the needs and perspectives of marginalized communities. Through a blend of historical analysis and contemporary examples, the book challenges readers to critically assess the dynamics of power and representation within activism and advocacy.
