A people's recorded fight for greater freedom and a more profound understanding of the human condition is history. Everyone has the potential to be a hero. Indeed, societal cataclysms that have altered the course of history have occurred on multiple occasions as a result of popular initiative. Because human beings are the driving force behind all historical events, the subaltern perspective revolves around them. Opponents of the dominant, elitist approach to studying and understanding the past argue that subaltern studies of history provide a better alternative. This approach to historical analysis, sometimes called "history from below," seeks to build the paradigm of subaltern consciousness as it has existed in many forms, locations, and eras. History is being rewritten with the new "subaltern studies" movement.
