A Child in Palestine: The Cartoons of Naji Al-Ali by Naji Al-Ali

3.0

This is a very cool format. It is a collection of political illustrations from the 1970s and 1980s about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I am not sure if the child was in all the images originally, or if he was added for the book.

I took out this graphic novel to learn more about the Israel-Palestine conflict and it did help. There was a lot I didn't understand and I think it would have helped to have a better understanding of the conflict before reading this. I am glad that there were descriptions and translations under each picture so that I knew what was going on or what message the illustrator was trying to make.
