robertrivasplata 's review for:
Palestine
by Joe Sacco
Comics account of Sacco's visit to Israel-Palestine in the early 90s. Some of the narration reminds me of the narration in a noir movie. Sacco speaks with young Palestinians swept up in the 1st intifada, with old folks who experienced the Nakba, with education & aid workers & volunteers, & with all sorts of people just trying to get by. Also discusses the media's effect on the conflict & the people. Sacco's detailed artwork is one of the best aspects of this book. Sacco's avatar highlights the ridiculousness of the journalists' intifada tour, and provided some needed comic relief.
