klamonster's review against another edition

Ran out of time from the library and had to return it. It was very good but with everything going on right now I could only read it in small snippets to keep my heart from getting too heavy. I will probably go back to it someday, as I think it's really important.

4.0

Obviously incredible comics-journalism. Good introduction for anyone looking to learn right now. Emotional, vivid, challenging.

At times outdated, with sexist and racist undertones especially in its narrations of Palestinian women and militant resistance. Sacco’s voice is highly present and often threw me off, because my reactions to described experiences were very different from his then. 

The story I keep thinking about is Ansar III.
