Organic intellectuals
Organic intellectuals are individuals who naturally emerge from within a specific community or social group, understanding its unique experiences, struggles, and values. Unlike traditional scholars who may be detached from their subjects, organic intellectuals actively interpret and articulate the group's perspectives, helping to raise awareness, challenge injustices, and promote social change. They serve as voices of the community, bridging the gap between everyday experiences and broader societal ideas, and often work to empower others by fostering understanding and collective action.
