“…An illustrative instance can be observed among ultra-orthodox women in Israel, who encounter societal pressures imposed by the patriarchal structure to conform to notions of modesty and plainness, aiming to deter what is viewed as unwanted attention and desire (Linzer, 2012;Taragin-Zeller, 2014). However, some women resist by using fashion and style as tools to regain control over their bodies, enabling them to independently identify and express values that are consistent with their faith, but in ways that contrast with the dominant patriarchal cultural norms (Adler, 2022;Baikovich et al, 2022;Soloski, 2021). Therefore, material artefacts (such as dress) can be used to either overtly or covertly reinterpret and recast the beliefs and values of the dominant culture.…”

The recent rise in extremism, authoritarianism, displacement and isolationism signals troubled times for the most marginalized groups in societies. In this article, our primary emphasis is on a specific aspect of marginalization within organizational theory – referred to as cultural marginalization. We argue that the existing literature lacks an adequate theoretical understanding to address this phenomenon. To theorize cultural marginalization and uncover how marginalized groups may cope with such circumstances, we build on and problematize the culture-as-toolkit perspective. We integrate this perspective with other cultural theories that consider power structures more prominently. Drawing on this theoretical base, we develop a typology of four dynamics of cultural marginalization and conceptualize the specific cultural survival and cultural autonomy processes marginalized groups may undertake to safeguard their culture. In doing so, we contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding the toolkit perspective by providing novel insights into how marginalized groups utilize their socio-culturally constrained cultural resources in distinct ways, compared with more resourceful actors and groups. Our theoretical contributions pave the way for new avenues of research to deepen our understanding of the general process of cultural marginalization and to direct further inquiry into the survival strategies of marginalized groups and how they might (re)gain autonomy.
