minority voices
Underrepresented group viewpoints
Minority voices refers to the perspectives, opinions, and creative expressions of groups underrepresented in mainstream discourse—whether by race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, or other factors.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of media, politics, and the arts: The anthology amplifies minority voices in science fiction.
It emphasizes that these viewpoints deserve attention precisely because they've been historically marginalized or drowned out.
