Has anyone done research by using the literary term Strategic Essentialism, coined by Spivak? Do you think this term has any use? I need some opinions...thanks!
Yes, this is an interesting application of the concept by auto ethnographer Shabana Mir: 2009. Not Too “College-Like,” Not Too Normal: American Muslim Undergraduate Women’s Gendered Discourse. Anthropology and Education Quarterly 40(3):237-56.
Here is another one: Dourish, Paul. 2008. “Points of Persuasion: Strategic Essentialism and Environmental Sustainability”. University of California.
And finally: Eide, Eileen. 2010. Strategic Essentialism and Ethnification: Hand in Glove? Nordicom Review 31(2):63‐78
There already has been a similar question some time ago. Maybe you will find something interesting there.
