The actual word ‘keffiyeh’ has its origins in the ‘Kufa’ area of Iraq and means “from the city of Kufa. The keffiyeh originated in iraq, amongst Bedouins as a practical and protective covering for the head and face, especially in the arid desert climate in which they have traditionally lived. The word is also derived from the Iraqi city of Kufa, where it is also believed that the headdress was first used in the 7th century. Over the years it spread across the Middle East with each country proudly wearing a pattern and style distinct to their region.
Traditionally this squared scarf is seen in Red and Black. The red keffiyeh is native to many areas in the Southern Arabian Peninsula, and remains a popular cultural symbol in Jordan, Iraq and the Gulf regions. It serves both practical and symbolic purposes – and was historically worn by bedouins as it represents the colours of the red Arabian deserts and black.
The traditional black and white keffiyeh gained popularity amongst Palestinians and protests during the British Mandate of Palestine and especially during the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt. It was wrapped around the face by the rebels to hide their identity to avoid arrest. This caused the British authorities to ban the keffiyeh. Banning yet another form of Palestinian identity did not take over well with its population, so as an act of resistance all Palestinians started wearing it to make it harder to identify the rebels from the general population.
The keffiyeh as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity was cemented in the 1960s. Former President of Palestine Yasser Arafat became an icon with his distinct style of wearing the scarf in every public appearance. His keffiyeh was always carefully positioned on his head, with the longer end of the fabric placed over his right shoulder – it was laid out to resemble a map of pre -1948 Palestine. In the 1970s, iconic photographs of Leila Khaled, member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), showed her wearing the keffiyeh in a headscarf style, marking the rise in popularity of the scarf among Palestinian women as a symbol of unity.
Echoing the solidarity of The Arab Revolt, the keffiyeh was worn as a sign of allegiance again during the First Intifada (1987) and Second Intifada (2000). Palestinian youth would wear the scarf around their neck, a shift largely influenced by the fact that a full face covering made for an easy target for Zionist soldiers.Today the Keffiyeh continues to be worn to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause in the West and neighbouring Middle Eastern countries.
