This new hardcover edition includes a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and also features Palestinian academic and critic Edward Said's timeless 2001 introduction to the work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Based on extensive research and an extended visit to the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem 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 \u003ci\u003eSafe Area Gorazde, Palestine\u003c\/i\u003e has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eMaus\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Peace Process, Power, Politics and Culture,\u003c\/i\u003e and the memoir \u003ci\u003eOut of Place\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003cbr\u003e Safe Area Gorazade: The War in Eastern Bosnia 1992-1995\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e$24.99 NOV171671","brand":"FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48894183833898,"sku":"JUN241670","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/4112\/0815\/files\/STL326832.jpg?v=1720646585","url":"https:\/\/www.wordupcollectibles.com\/products\/jun241670-palestine-hc-new-edition-c-0-1-2","provider":"WORD UP COLLECTIBLES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
