Description: 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.
Brief description:
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.
Review Quotes: 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"
