Beschreibung

A landmark of graphic journalism, capturing the heart of day-to-day life in occupied Palestine. Palestine remains one of the most influential works of visual reportage ever created - a ground-breaking fusion of comic art and investigative journalism. Based on months of on-the-ground reporting in the early 1990s, Joe Sacco powerfully documents his own experiences and the daily lives of Palestinians during the First Intifada in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with remarkable insight and clarity. Through drawings, reportage and storytelling, Sacco captures the moments of grief, resilience and absurdity that conventional journalism can miss. Palestine is a modern classic that continues to inspire artists, journalists and readers who seek an unflinching and nuanced account of the conflict. 'The bar is set extremely high when it comes to graphic books and the Middle East: one thinks of Joe Sacco's Palestine' Guy Delisle 'Palestine is utterly compelling, and as affecting as the work of any war photographer or poet' Varsity For readers interested in Middle Eastern history, human rights and documentary storytelling.
