About the book
A groundbreaking work in graphic journalism that captures daily life in occupied Palestine. 'Palestine' combines comic art with investigative journalism, based on months of reporting in the early 1990s by Joe Sacco. He documents his own experiences and the lives of Palestinians during the First Intifada with clarity and profound insight.
Content and style
Through drawings and stories, Sacco brings moments of grief, resilience, and absurdity to life, where traditional journalism sometimes falls short. The book is considered a modern classic and continues to inspire artists, journalists, and readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of the conflict.
