Krátky popis
From luminary graphics journalist, a revelatory investigation of
the deadly sectarian riots in 2013 Uttar Pradesh, India, and their
urgent global significanceCompared to other episodes of lethal
Indian communal violence, the clashes in Uttar Pradesh in 2013, the
Muzaffarnagar Riot, were a relatively small-scale affair. It had
happened before and will probably happen again: Hindus and Muslims,
armed with guns and swords, riled up by vitriolic rhetoric and a
tangle of accusations, turn on one another. The truth fragments
along religious lines, both in the lead-up to the rampage and in
its bloody aftermath.Joe Sacco immerses himself in Uttar Pradesh,
speaking to government officials, political leaders, village
chiefs, and especially the victims, who were mostly landless
peasants, in a quest to understand this riot as an archetype of
political violence. In the process, he probes the role of savagery
in a democracy, the power of crowds, rather than leaders, to
influence the course of events, the collision of competing
narratives, and the accounts that perpetrators construct to explain
away their participation in bloodshed. Sacco has chronicled the
urgent histories that define the world around us, from the Great
War to Gaza.Here, he turns his masterful visual reportage to a
story that is specific to India but with implications and resonance
for us all.
