Raw concrete buildings front rubbish-strewn alleys. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSituated on the border with Egypt, swaths of Rafah have been reduced to rubble. Rafah is today and has always been a notorious flashpoint in this most bitter of conflicts. Buried deep in the archives is one bloody incident, in 1956, that left 111 Palestinian refugees dead, shot by Israeli soldiers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSeemingly a footnote to a long history of killing, that day in Rafah - coldblooded 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 arrives in Gaza and, immersing himself in daily life, uncovers Rafah, past and present. Spanning fifty years, moving fluidly between one war and the next, alive with the voices of fugitives and schoolchildren, widows and sheikhs, Footnotes in Gaza captures the essence of a tragedy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs in Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde, Joe Sacco's unique visual journalism has rendered a contested landscape in brilliant, meticulous detail. Footnotes in Gaza, his most ambitious work to date, transforms a critical conflict of our age into intimate and immediate experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: UK, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Vintage Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 432\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9781787332010\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 1787332012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Joe Sacco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39529526853735,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781787332010.jpg?v=1636469241","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/footnotes-in-gaza","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
