Omschrijving
An intimate and powerful portrayal of life under occupation in Palestine, from cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh. Palestine in Black and White is an intimate and powerful portrayal of life under occupation from one of the most talented cartoonists working today. Mohammad Sabaaneh has gained worldwide renown for his black and white sketches. His stark geometric figures and landscapes are rich with Palestinian visual traditions and symbols, while his haunting figures depict a vivid perspective of the occupation. This first collection brings together one hundred of Sabaaneh's most striking works, including cartoons that portray the experience of Palestinian prisoners, drawn while Sabaaneh himself was detained in an Israeli prison. The drawings do not flinch from revealing the reality that confronts Palestinians, from Israel's injustices in the West Bank to their military operations on Gaza.
