Palestine

From the Mother Tongue Shapeshifting & Reclaiming collection.

“I chose this book because Sacco's use of comics to report on the Occupation is in itself an act of resistance, shedding light on stories of people and places that are not heard or forgotten. What starts as objective documentation evolves into personal as Sacco shares food, lodgings, and even breaks curfew with Palestinians he interviews. With all the journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023, I wanted to highlight this book to show the importance of storytelling and the impact it can have on the world. Published in 2001, the book is more relevant now than ever." - Nina Zidani
