Fanon and Weil

 Recently an article in the Journal of Aging Studies includes a note about Fanon and Weil.  So far I have identified four works that include comments on  Franz Fanon and Weil

Higgs, Paul, and Chris Gilleard. 2022. "Is ageism an oppression?"  Journal of Aging Studies 62:1-6. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890406522000548. See page 3 for a brief discussion of Weil and oppression and a comment on her influence on Franz Fanon


Smith, Anthony Paul. 2017. ""To Love Human Beings Insofar as They are Nothing": Deracination and Pessimism in Weil." In Simone Weil and Continental Philosophy, edited by A.  Rebecca  (Adrian Rebecca) Rozelle-Stone, 205-221. London: Rowman & Littlefield.
