Footnotes in Gaza
Sacco, Joe
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.
