I propose that while Fanon’s racial dialectical work is very significant, he often lacks acknowledgment of the multidimensionality of the Black woman’s lived experience specifically. Drawing on the theory of intersectionality, coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw, I argue that Fanon does not recognize the different layers of oppression operating in Black women’s lives to the degree that he fails to include them within his framework of both liberation and resistance from racial oppression.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, number={1}, journal={Stance: an international undergraduate philosophy journal}, author={Ming Wahl, Emma}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={41–51} }
