Palestinian Keffiyeh are now available at IHRC Bookshop!

The keffiyeh is a traditional headdress worn by men from parts of the Middle East. It is fashioned from a square scarf, and is usually made of cotton. The keffiyeh is commonly found in arid regions, as it provides protection from sunburn, dust and sand. Since the 1930s Arab Revolts in Palestine, the black and white fishnet patterned keffiyeh were used as a national symbol of Palestinian Solidarity and was further popularised by Yasser Arafat’s donning of the scarf.
