This article explores the trajectory of global feminism from the vantage point of the US, and its treatment of `Other Women' in the service of its own hegemonic (re)construction and simultaneous occlusion of multiple feminisms both within and beyond the US. It also offers reflections on locating global feminisms instead in `alternate' venues and avoiding reproducing the West as its predetermined default frame of reference. I am proposing to undertake a critique of global feminism in two ways: through how the discipline of women's studies is organized and how global feminism is deployed politically. The analytical tools that help me take on global feminism are to be found in Us anti-racist feminism and transnational feminism. That is, Us anti-racist and transnational feminisms can aid in the analysis and shifting the politics of feminism.
