Requiem for Gaza Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges

O książce Requiem for Gaza

A profound and unflinching work of investigative journalism that presents the testimony of displaced Palestinians who are living through genocide, from the acclaimed author of Palestine

In the spring of 2025, the comics journalist Joe Sacco and reporter Chris Hedges travelled to Cairo where they interviewed 29 Palestinian families who had recently left Gaza. In Requiem for Gaza, their experiences and stories detail the crucible of the genocide, its horror, displacement and obliteration.

This book is their effort to combat erasure and defy an indifferent world, to pay homage to the villages, refugee camps and cities that have been destroyed, to preserve stories of resilience, courage and self-sacrifice in the face of the appalling death toll, hunger and deprivation, to mourn the extermination of families and loved ones.

Combining Sacco’s masterful comics-journalism and prose by Hedges, Requiem for Gaza is an urgent, unmissable work of true clarity that preserves a vanished place and asks us not to look away from its people in their struggle for liberation.
