Lebanon Is Burning and Other Dispatches -- Yazan Al-Saadi

<p>Voices from the Middle East on the fight for self-determination.</p><p> </p><p>Much of the present discourse about the pro-democracy Arab uprisings of 2011 paints a bleak picture of their defeat. But the truth is more complicated, and moments of struggle and inspiration still recur despite the overwhelming odds against the movements' success.</p><p> </p><p>This collection of short comics documents the political and social unrest in the Middle East during the 2010s in such places as Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen, Palestine, Sudan, and Bahrain. A collaboration between writer and journalist Yazan Al-Saadi and a lineup of stellar cartoonists from the region--including Tracy Chahwan, Ganzeer, Ghadi Ghosn, Omar Khouri, Sir?ne Moukheiber, Hicham Rahma, and Enas Satir--this graphic reportage serves as a witness to an era of counterrevolutionary resurgence in which entrenched powers clashed with the people's struggle for self-determination.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Yazan Al-Saadi<br><b>Publisher:</b> Graphic Mundi - Psu Press<br><b>Published:</b> 11/19/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.50w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781637790786
