New Releases by Joe Sacco

"A graphic novel about the 2013 Muzaffargnar Riot in Uttar Pradesh, India, that expands to investigate the mechanics, dynamics, mythologies, and uses of riots writ large"--

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

"Sacco brings the conflict down to the most human level, allowing us to imagine our way inside it, to make the desperation he discovers, in some small way, our own."—Los Angeles Times Rafah, a town at the bottommost tip of the Gaza Strip, has long been a notorious flashpoint in the bitter Middle East conflict. Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinians shot dead by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of killing, that day in Rafah—cold-blooded massacre or dreadful mistake—reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war. In a quest to get to the heart of what happened, Joe Sacco immerses himself in the daily life of Rafah and the neighboring town of Khan Younis, uncovering Gaza past and present. As in Palestine and Safe Area Goražde, his unique visual journalism renders a contested landscape in brilliant, meticulous detail. Spanning fifty years, moving fluidly between one war and the next, Footnotes in Gaza—Sacco''s most ambitious work to date—transforms a critical conflict of our age into intimate and immediate experience.

Do mesmo autor de Notas sobre Gaza e Palestina . Uma impactante investigação sobre os povos originários da América, a exploração de recursos naturais e a dívida de todos nós com a terra. Eleito o livro do ano em 2020 pelo Guardian e pelo New York Times . Os Dene vivem no vasto vale do rio Mackenzie, no noroeste do Canadá, desde tempos imemoriais. A terra é o elemento central do seu modo de vida, e acreditam, como em muitas outras culturas nativas, que são eles que pertencem à terra e não o contrário. Mas a região onde vivem abriga valiosos recursos minerais: petróleo, gás e diamantes. Com a mineração vieram empregos e investimentos, mas também a abertura de estradas, os resíduos tóxicos, a construção de oleodutos. Tudo isso afetou de modo brusco o lugar, e os costumes são a cada dia mais deformados por um governo que reivindica a posse da terra, por um sistema educacional que não leva em conta as tradições nativas, pelos estragos do alcoolismo e pela tragédia das dívidas bancárias que só crescem. Da mais importante voz do jornalismo em quadrinhos, Pagar a terra coloca em foco uma galeria variada de personagens — caçadores, chefes indígenas, ativistas, sacerdotes, entre outros –— para narrar uma história brutal sobre o poder do dinheiro, sua dependência, um povo em conflito com o dito progresso, a extinção de uma cultura e sua luta pela sobrevivência.

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” (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.

Joe Sacco, l''auteur de "Gaza 1956" et "Gorazde", reprenant ses carnet de reporter-dessinateur, s''est rendu dans les Territoires du Nord-Quest du Canada, au-dessous de l''Arctique, un région grande comme la France et l''Espagne, mais peuplée de seulement 45,000 personnes. Allant à la recontre des Dene, il nous retrace l''listoire de ce pays depuis l''arrivée des premiers colons et dresse un portrait actuel, économique, écologique et terriblement humaniste.

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.

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 mediados de la década de 1990, el historietista Joe Sacco finalizó su obra periodística más ambiciosa hasta la fecha, Palestina, y centró su mirada en un conflicto que todo el globo contemplaba con horror y consternación:la Guerra de los Balcanes. De todos los lugares que visitó durante su estancia en Bosnia entre 1995 y 1996, el que más pasión e interés le suscitó fue el enclave musulmán de Gorazde, duramente azotado por las tropas serbobosnias, aislado durante años del resto del mundo, y habitado por gentes que se debatían entre la desesperanza más pesimista y la ilusión de una paz cada vez más improbable. Fue a esta ciudad a la que dedicó en 2000 su segundo libro, destinado a consagrarlo como una de las voces más relevantes de la novela gráfica actual. Mediante el presente volumen, Planeta Cómic pone a disposición de sus lectores la edición publicada en EE. UU. con motivo del décimo aniversario de la obra. Además del cómic original en su totalidad, traducido y rotulado nuevamente para la ocasión, este tomo incluye una introducción a cargo del escritor y periodista Christopher Hitchens, abundante material inédito, una disertación documental en la que el propio Sacco nos pone al corriente de los detalles relativos a la gestación de su trabajo, y una extensa y certera entrevista realizada al autor por parte del prestigioso crítico y editor Gary Groth.

Au commencement, Dieu créa le ciel et la terre. Or, la terre était informe, et vide ; les ténèbres couvraient l''abîme. Et l''Esprit de Dieu planait au-dessus des eaux. Et Dieu dit alors : Que la lumière soit... Des millénaires plus tard, nous devons constater que cela a sacrément dérapé : pollution, violence, pauvreté, misère, corruption. C''est dans ce contexte particulier que le capitaine d''aviation Joe Sacco, de l''escadron 617, est amené à bombarder Téhéran. Fort heureusement, son véritable statut d''auteur de roman graphique est rapidement découvert et le voilà redevenu simple soldat. Il est l''assistant d''un colonel moustachu qui, pour défaire l''ennemi teuton, a décidé de « baiser le kaiser » et tous ses hommes. Dans cette optique il vit nu, prêt à en découdre.

In the vein of the old underground comix like ZAP or Weirdo, author Joe Sacco promises that BUMF will go where it needs to go, and do what it needs to do.” Though world-famous for his serious, journalistic books like Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and Footnotes in Gaza, Bumf promises to echo back to Sacco’s earlier days as a satirist and underground cartoonist. Bumf is a project that Sacco has been working on in between larger projects like Footnotes in Gaza, indulging his love of satire and cartooning. Often puerile, disgusting, and beyond redemption, Sacco apologized in advance, saying he couldn’t help himself. “They expect better things from me. They’ll never put me on a stamp now.”

Recueil de brefs récits journalistiques et autobiographiques sur le thème de la guerre : guerre du Golfe, guerre de Bosnie, Seconde Guerre mondiale, conflit israélo-palestinien.

Two years ago, Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges and award-winning cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco set out to take a look at the sacrifice zones, those areas in America that have been offered up for exploitation in the name of profit, progress, and technological advancement. They wanted to show in words and drawings what life looks like in places where the marketplace rules without constraints, where human beings and the natural world are used and then discarded to maximize profit. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt is the searing account of their travels. The book starts in the western plains, where Native Americans were sacrificed in the giddy race for land and empire. It moves to the old manufacturing centers and coal fields that fueled the industrial revolution, but now lie depleted and in decay. It follows the steady downward spiral of American labor into the nation''s produce fields and ends in Zuccotti Park where a new generation revolts against a corporate state that has handed to the young an economic, political, cultural and environmental catastrophe.

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.

In late 1991 and early 1992, Joe Sacco spent two months with Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, traveling and taking notes. Upon returning to the U.S., he started writing and drawing Palestine, which combined the techniques of eyewitness reportage with the medium of comic-book storytelling to explore this complex, emotionally weighty situation.

"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.
