Your Intifada: Now Made in China!
Once upon a time, the keffiyeh (spelled many ways but worn only one) was headdress for PLO leader Yasser Arafat and symbol of Palestinian nationalism.
Now, thanks to a late aughts explosion of popularity, the symbol of intifada is second only to the Che t-shirt for its global ubiquity and collegiate rebel chic.
So with all this popularity, why is the the last keffiyeh factory in Palestine about to go out of business?
That’s because the one you’re wearing (and, increasingly, the ones Palestinians are wearing) are now made in China.
