Examples Of Counter Public Sphere

Assignment 3 A counter public sphere call attention to groups identities. Meaning, a counter public sphere, unlike Habermas public sphere, are able to discuss issues with having their status and identity still intact. In a counter public sphere it is obliging to other people to understand peoples values and prospective. Though in counter public sphere such a black feminist, it is difficult to distinguish which counter public sphere they would fit under because being black and being female is a counter public sphere.
