Blurb:

Over the past several decades, various attempts have been made
by feminist scholars to describe the activism of many international
women’s groups as “feminist” even though such groups
often heavily resemble many American conservative women’s
groups that have often been labeled by the same scholars as
“anti-feminist.” Using the work of Chandra Talpade Mohanty
and Uma Narayan as a frame of reference, I discuss how some
scholars of “global feminism” use certain rhetorical techniques
to make this identity labeling possible in order to fit a series
of specific political interests, even though such techniques
may depend on a philosophical double standard to achieve the
appearance of consistency.
