Palestine by Joe Sacco Hardcover Book

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Palestine by Joe Sacco, Edward W. Said, Amira Hass The landmark work of comics journalism by Joe Sacco, in a new hardcover edition with a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and an introduction by Palestinian American author and critic Edward W. Said. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Joe Saccos 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. Saids timeless 2001 introduction to the work. Based on several years of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s, where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews, Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like Safe Area Gorazde, Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelmans Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter through the immersive lens of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist, and he is certainly the best. Author Biography Joe Sacco lives in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of many acclaimed graphic novels, including Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, But I Like It, Notes from a Defeatist, The Fixer, Wars End, and Footnotes in Gaza. Edward W. Said was University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Society of Literature and of Kings College Cambridge, his celebrated works include Orientalism, The End of the Peace Process, Power, Politics and Culture, and the memoir Out of Place. He is also the editor, with Christopher Hitchens, of Blaming the Victims, published by Verso. He died in September 2003.Amira Hass is an Israeli journalist and author, known for her columns in the daily newspaper Haaretz covering Palestinian affairs in Gaza and the West Bank, where she has lived for almost thirty years. Review 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 artists 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"In Joe Saccos 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 Details ISBN Author Amira Hass Pages 300 Year 2024 ISBN-13 9798875000003 Format Hardcover DEWEY 956.94054022 Audience Professional & Vocational AU Release Date 2024-10-07 Publisher Fantagraphics Publication Date 2024-10-07 Imprint Fantagraphics Place of Publication Seattle Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-10-07 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
