This paper explores the possibilities for coalition between Arab feminists across borders. It focuses on Arab feminist discourses emergent out of two contexts: the diasporas of empire (Arab feminisms in the U.S.) and Arab revolutions and the preceding histories that spun them into motion (feminisms of the Arab region). The paper will consider how these conditions have inspired parallel and differing feminist analyses of state violence, militarism, and racism. Ultimately, this paper asks, what might transnational solidarity between homelands and diasporas look like? Are feminist struggles of the Arab region and its diasporas moving parts of the same imperial present, taking place within the same spatial-temporal context? What are the points of tension, power, privilege, and contradiction? And what can these issues tell us about the shifting constructions of Arab American Feminist Studies, and Arab American identity more generally?
