Read the paragraph below to choose the alternative that best summarizes it.
“Understanding these dominant traditions within the logic of the multicultural suggests the need for coalitions and coproduction in knowledge formation which takes seriously the “local memories” and “subjugated knowledge” (according to Foucault) whose exclusion and repression shore up the dominant tradition as an unquestionably valorized (western) universal foundation.”

a) The dominant, universal tradition must be understood by the multicultural approach which is, as pointed out Foucault, “local memories” and “subjugated knowledge”; only then minorities will be also valorized.
b) The logic of multiculturalism implies that, in order to overcome the actual system that represses and oppresses minorities, it’s necessary to form alliances between, as wrote Foucault, “local memories” and “subjugated knowledge”.
c) The multicultural approach sees how important it is to produce knowledge based on the experience of minorities, since it is its exclusion and repression that sustain the dominant, said to be universal, tradition as such.
d) Coalitions are necessary when dealing with multicultural knowledge: Only through union it will be possible to establish a battlefront against the mainstream western culture that preaches exclusion and subjugation.
e) The western tradition, despite its universal character, is over-valorized; therefore, it’s indispensable that multicultural enthusiasts gather together to rescue the memories and the knowledge that are being oppressed and obliterated.
