FOOTNOTES IN GAZA
Book ID/图书代码： 09784510B38366
English Summary/英文概要： Rafah, a town at the southernmost tip of the Gaza Strip, is a squalid place. Raw concrete buildings front rubbish-strewn alleys. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men. Situated 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. Seemingly 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.
As 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 萨科将冲突拉回最人性化的层面，让我们得以代入其中，让他所感受到的绝望，以某种细微的方式，化作我们自己的切身感受。—《洛杉矶时报》
加沙地带最南端的拉法镇，长期是中东地区激烈冲突的争议焦点。档案深处深埋着1956年的一起血腥事件：111名巴勒斯坦人遭以色列士兵枪杀。这看似是漫长杀戮史中的一个注脚，但拉法镇的那一天——究竟是冷血屠杀还是致命失误——揭示了这场旷日持久战争中相互交织的真相。
为探寻事件真相，乔·萨科深入拉法及邻近的汗尤尼斯镇，沉浸于当地日常生活，揭示加沙的过去与现在。正如《巴勒斯坦》和《戈拉日德安全区》一样，他独特的视觉新闻手法以精妙细致的笔触，将这片争议之地的风貌呈现得淋漓尽致。这部横跨五十年、在战争间自如穿梭的杰作——萨科迄今为止最具野心的作品《加沙的注脚》，将当代重大冲突转化为亲密而鲜活的体验。
