New Releases by Joe Sacco

In a profound and elegiac work of investigative journalism, the writer Chris Hedges and the cartoonist Joe Sacco collaborate to present the testimony of displaced Palestinians who lived through the genocide.

From “our greatest living comics journalist” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), a revelatory investigation of deadly sectarian riots in Uttar Pradesh, India, that explores the mechanics, dynamics, mythologies, uses, and abuses of political violence everywhere Compared to other episodes of lethal Indian communal violence, the clashes in Uttar Pradesh in 2013, the Muzaffarnagar Riot, were a relatively small-scale affair—some scores of people were killed and several tens of thousands displaced. It had happened before and will probably happen again: Hindus and Muslims, armed with guns and swords, riled up by vitriolic rhetoric and a tangle of accusations, turn on one another. The truth fragments along religious lines, both in the lead-up to the rampage and in its bloody aftermath. In The Once and Future Riot, Joe Sacco immerses himself in Uttar Pradesh, speaking to government officials, political leaders, village chiefs, and especially the victims, who were mostly landless peasants, in a quest to understand this riot as an archetype of political violence. In the process, he probes the role of savagery in a democracy; the power of crowds, rather than leaders, to influence the course of events; the collision of competing narratives; and the accounts that perpetrators construct to explain away their participation in bloodshed. Hailed as “the heir to R. Crumb and Art Spiegelman” (Economist), Sacco has chronicled the urgent histories that define the world around us, from the Great War to Gaza. Here, he turns his masterful visual reportage to a story that is specific to India but with implications and resonance for all precarious multiethnic, multiracial societies everywhere.

Un dels millors treballs polítics i històrics publicats en els darrers anys. A principis de la dècada de 1990, un jove historietista anomenat Joe Sacco va decidir viatjar per Palestina per documentar les seves vivències sota la forma artística del còmic. Fruit d''aquella apassionant experiència va sorgir Palestina, la primera gran obra periodística de Sacco i, fet i fet, un dels millors treballs polítics i històrics publicats en els darrers anys. Hereva directa del nou periodisme i peça fundacional del periodisme historietístic, aquesta novel·la gràfica no només constitueix un excepcional document etnogràfic, una àcida crònica de l''època i una visió personal sobre un conflicte eternitzat, sinó també un document rellevant per entendre el paper que Orient Mitjà juga actualment a la geopolítica contemporània

A timely satirical broadside on Israel''s genocidal campaign against Gaza by the most acclaimed comics journalist working today.

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2020 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, THE BROOKLYN RAIL, THE GLOBE AND MAIL, POP MATTERS, COMICS BEAT, AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY From the “heir to R. Crumb and Art Spiegelman” (The Economist), a masterful work of comics journalism about indigenous North America, resource extraction, and our debt to the natural world The Dene have lived in the vast Mackenzie River Valley since time immemorial, by their account. To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being. But the subarctic Canadian Northwest Territories are home to valuable resources, including oil, gas, and diamonds. With mining came jobs and investment, but also road-building, pipelines, and toxic waste, which scarred the landscape, and alcohol, drugs, and debt, which deformed a way of life. In Paying the Land, Joe Sacco travels the frozen North to reveal a people in conflict over the costs and benefits of development. The mining boom is only the latest assault on indigenous culture: Sacco recounts the shattering impact of a residential school system that aimed to “remove the Indian from the child”; the destructive process that drove the Dene from the bush into settlements and turned them into wage laborers; the government land claims stacked against the Dene Nation; and their uphill efforts to revive a wounded culture. Against a vast and gorgeous landscape that dwarfs all human scale, Paying the Land lends an ear to trappers and chiefs, activists and priests, to tell a sweeping story about money, dependency, loss, and culture—recounted in stunning visual detail by one of the greatest cartoonists alive.

On October 7th 2001, US-led forces invaded Afghanistan, marking the start of George Bush and Tony Blair''s "War on Terror." Six years on, where have the policies of Bush and Blair left us? Bringing together some of the finest contemporary writers, this wide-ranging anthology, from reportage and "faction" to fiction, explores the impact of this "long war" throughout the world, from Palestine to Iraq, Abu Ghraib, the curtailment of civil liberties and manipulation of public opinion. Published in conjunction with Stop the War coalition and United for Peace and Justice, War With No End provides an urgent, necessary reflection on the causes and consequences of the ideological War on Terror.

Tra la fine del 1991 e l''inizio del 1992 Joe Sacco ha trascorso due mesi in Israele e nei Territori Occupati, viaggiando e prendendo appunti. Ha vissuto nei campi dei palestinesi, condividendo la loro vita (o meglio, la loro sopravvivenza) in mezzo al fango, in baracche di lamiera arrugginita, tra coprifuoco e retate dell''esercito israeliano. Risultato del suo meticoloso lavoro d''inchiesta è questo volume che, combinando la tecnica del reportage di prima mano con quella della narrazione a fumetti, riesce a dare espressione a una realtà complessa ed emotivamente coinvolgente come quella del Medio Oriente. Ogni pagina racconta in modo approfondito e chiaro i molti aspetti dell''occupazione: le uccisioni, i ferimenti, le torture, le detenzioni amministrative, le confische delle terre, la distruzione delle case e degli ulivi. Senza la pretesa di dare giudizi, Palestina offre al lettore una testimonianza ricca, articolata e diretta delle reali condizioni del popolo palestinese. *********************** Questo eBook è ottimizzato per la fruizione su tablet; se ne sconsiglia pertanto la lettura sui dispositivi eReader. *********************** Questo eBook è ottimizzato per la fruizione su tablet; se ne sconsiglia pertanto la lettura sui dispositivi eReader.

Nueva edición, nueva traducción, rotulación y extras A principios de la década de 1990, un joven historietista llamado Joe Sacco decidió viajar por Palestina para documentar sus vivencias bajo la forma artística del cómic. Allí, paseó por mercados, se entrevistó con prisioneros, charló con manifestantes, comió con agricultores, visitó enfermos en los hospitales y, en definitiva, se zambulló en la vida y la cultura de los habitantes de Gaza y Cisjordania. Fruto de aquella apasionante experiencia surgió Palestina, la primera gran obra periodística de Sacco y, a la postre, uno de los mejores trabajos políticos e históricos publicados en los últimos años. Heredera directa del nuevo periodismo y pieza clave de la corriente autoral conocida como periodismo historietístico, esta novela gráfica no solo constituye un excepcional documento etnográfico, una ácida crónica de la época y una visión personalísima sobre un conflicto eternizado, sino también un libro valioso y relevante para entender el papel que Oriente Medio juega ahora, al igual que entonces, en la geopolítica contemporánea. Mediante la presente publicación, Planeta Cómic rinde justo homenaje a esta obra mítica. Además de las 288 páginas del cómic original, traducidas y rotuladas nuevamente para la ocasión, este volumen incluye todos los extras de la edición especial anglosajona: una introducción a cargo del añorado Edward Said, ingentes cantidades de material inédito -notas, bocetos, referencias fotográficas- y una amplia disertación documental en la que el propio Joe Sacco relata todas las aventuras, anécdotas y curiosidades que vivió durante la preparación, el transcurso y el regreso de su odisea.

Joe Sacco is renowned for his non-fiction books of comics journalism like Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde and Footnotes in Gaza. Now in Bumf he returns to his early days as a satirist and underground cartoonist. In the vein of the old underground comix like ZAP or Weirdo, Bumf will be puerile, disgusting, and beyond redemption. It will go where it wants to go, and do what it wants to do. It will also be very funny.

Der 1. Juli 1916 markiert den ersten Tag der Schlacht an der Somme, die als verlustreichste Schlacht des Ersten Weltkriegs in die Geschichte einging - allein am ersten Kampftag fielen etwa 20000 Soldaten. Joe Sacco vermittelt uns in seinem sieben Meter langen Panoramabild - Stunde nach Stunde aufgezeichnet - einen Eindruck der blutigen Ereignisse, begleitet von einem Text des amerikanischen Historikers Adam Hochschild, der uns den Ablauf dieses schrecklichen Tages chronologisch schildert.

"The Great War is a 24-foot-long black-and-white drawing printed on heavyweight accordion-fold paper and packaged in a deluxe hardcover slipcase. The set also includes a 16-page booklet featuring an essay about the first day of the Battle of the Somme by Adam Hochschild and original annotations to the drawing by Sacco himself"--Insert.

A journalistic collection in comic book format from the sid3elines of wars around the world includes articles on the American military in Iraq, the Caucasus widow trials, the dilemmas of India''s "untouchables," and the smuggling tunnels of Gaza.

With illustrations by award-winning comic artist Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges portrays a suffering nation on the cusp of widespread revolt and addresses Occupy Wall Street in his first book since the international protests began. In the tradition of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Hedges and Sacco travel to the depressed pockets of the United States to report on recession-era America. What they find in Camden, New Jersey, the devastated coalmines of West Virginia, on the Lakota reservation in South Dakota, and in undocumented farmworker colonies in California is a thriving neofeudalism. With extraordinary on-the-ground reportage and illustration, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt provides a terrifying glimpse of a future for America and the nations that follow her lead--a future that will be avoided with nothing short of revolution.

En parallèle de ses livres documentaires, Joe Sacco travaille régulièrement pour la presse internationale. Reportages est le premier recueil de ses différents articles. Il nous conduit en Irak, auprès des soldats américains et Irakiens, en Palestine, au tribunal pénal international pour l’ex-Yougoslavie de la Haye pour le procès d’un docteur Serbe accusé de génocide, et pour des récits plus longs, auprès des immigrés clandestins débarquant sur l’île de Malte, des intouchables en Inde, et des réfugiés Tchétchènes en Ingouchie. Ce livre est aussi pour Joe Sacco l’occasion de revenir sur son travail, d’expliquer ses méthodes d’investigation, et de replacer la bande dessinée reportage dans le contexte journalistique. Plus qu’une bande dessinée, Reportages est le reflet de notre monde après la première décennie du XXIe siècle...

Komik ini meraih American Book Award pada 1996, dan semakin bergizi setelah diberikan Kata Pengantar dari Edwar Said. Selamat menikmati! [Mizan, DAR Mizan, Cerita, Komik]

A look at rock and roll culture based on author''s two year visit to Germany. In comic book format.

¿Cómo reconcilia un artista el verse forzado a acudir al frente de un conflicto brutal que cambiará su vida y su tierra natal para siempre? ¿Qué ocurre cuando un reportero finalmente se encuentra cara a cara con un criminal de guerra? Antes de sus rompedoras Gorazde: Zona Protegida, El mediador y Palestina, Joe Sacco creó dos historias cortas sobre personajes de cada lado de la línea de fuego. Soba y Navidad con Karadzic se recopilan por primera vez en este libro. En Soba, Joe Sacco captura el tormento interno de un artista guerrero de Sarajevo que cautivó a los medios de Occidente con su guitarra y sus fiestas. En Navidad con Karadzic, el autor aporta al lector una vista de cerca del proceso, de un humor negro, para obtener una noticia que ni siquiera saldrá en los titulares, mientras persigue a uno de los criminales de la guerra serbobosnia más buscados.
