Palestine
Joe Sacco
“Gripping ... a political and aesthetic work of extraordinary originality.” —Edward W. Said, from his introduction
Based on years of research and extended visits to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s (Sacco conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews), the American Book Award-winning Palestine is the first major comics work of political non-fiction by Sacco, who has singlehandedly pioneered the genre of comics journalism to universal acclaim. Featuring a lengthy introduction by the outspoken political essayist and historian Edward Said (Peace and Its Discontents and The Question of Palestine), one of the world’s most respected authorities on the Middle Eastern Conflict.
