Chris Keulemans is a writer, musician, dramatist
and cultural impresario based in Amsterdam, and a frequent contributor
to this journal. His play The Albanians, uncannily foreshadowing
the recent immigration conflicts in the Netherlands, can be found
in vol 1 no. 2 of 91st Meridian. His extravagant and sprawling
interactive website charting the global mnemonic residues of American
pop culture is at http://www.deamerikaan.nl
For an earlier series of views of the situation in Palestine and
Israel by several of the people mentioned in Keulemans’ essay,
see “3 Middle Eastern Writers” in the inaugural issue
of 91st Meridian.
