Said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unlike popular journalistic accounts that distort and normalize trauma, Sacco uses the comics medium to fracture the comfortable frames of war and spectacle that distance viewers from the realities of conflict.-- \"The Journal of Pop Culture\" Review Quotes : With the exception of one or two novelists and poets, no one has ever rendered this terrible state of affairs better than Joe Sacco.--Edward W. Said Review Quotes : Sacco's detailed landscapes and expressionistic drawing style capture the horror and desperation of the occupation, made even more poignant in light of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.-- \"Publishers Weekly\" Review Quotes : In Joe Sacco's Palestine , the autobiographical comic book reaches beyond everyday trivia to embrace the travel documentary. Utilizing a masterful array of visual devices and employing consummate draftsmanship, Sacco details life in the Occupied Territories with sensitivity, insight, and a fine eye for moral ambiguities. Highly recommended.--Alan Moore Review Quotes : Sacco uses the comic book format to its fullest extent, creating bold perspectives that any photojournalist would envy.-- \"Utne Reader\" Review Quotes : If I had to choose one word to describe Palestine , it would be \"dynamic.\" Images and words jostle for space on crowded pages as if each has something to say which simply cannot be delayed or left unexpressed, and the artist's constantly changing perspective creates a sense of restlessness and a feeling that there is no peace to be found in this small territory.-- \"The Arts STL\" Publisher Marketing : Joe Sacco's breakthrough work of graphic journalism -- a now-established genre almost single handedly invented by Sacco -- won the American Book Award upon its initial release in 1996, and has remained a perennial, essential work for understanding the Palestinian Israeli conflict in the Middle East. This new hardcover edition includes a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and also features Palestinian academic and critic Edward W. Said's timeless 2001 introduction to the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024-09-03\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489197576323,"sku":"9798875000003","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9798875000003.jpg?v=1770341660","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9798875000003","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
