When people think of refugees, they think of people with dirty clothes. But refugees can be wealthy, Einstein was a refugee. They have skills; they have ideas. As we have heard of changes to our immigration policies and watched footage of subsequent protests at airports nationwide, we are reminded of the value of a full and informed understanding of the world, its citizens, and our relationships with each other. Glidden made painstaking efforts to accurately portray those they met and the words spoken. Throughout its plus pages, Rolling Blackouts provides Syria and Iraq historical contexts and multiple viewpoints to Syria and Iraq any reader better understand the region and its people. Glidden incorporates the voices of government officials, aid workers, refugees—even a former terror suspect, among many others, in order to showcase the complicated realities of life in those countries. We meet those whose lives were improved from the Iraq War as well as those whose lives were destroyed. The focus on issues and worldviews provides a valuable, enjoyable, but very different experience from many graphic texts. The graphic medium is a perfect fit for Rolling Blackouts, due in large part to its focus on dialogue. Rolling Blackouts is about granting admission into the thoughts and feelings of others. While some in power might try to divide us, a little understanding and empathy, based directly in listening to individual stories, can go a long way. Review originally published in Cleaver Magazine. Nov 30, David Schaafsma rated it really liked it Shelves: gn-political. When I think of comics journalism, I think of Joe Sacco. Incisive, self-deprecating, personal, honest about his limitations. No romanticizing the places, the people, respectful of sources Syria and Iraq appropriate. Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey Blackouts Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey new generation comics journalism, but with similar characteristics. They spent two months in Turkey, Syria, and Iraq and published several stories out of their experience. But this book is not a collection of their greatest hits; it's a comic by Gladden, and mainly a book Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey the Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey of journalism, what it is, issues of ethics and representation, strengths and limitations. And committed, "outsider" or non-mainstream work that we don't hear from the Big News outlets, th importance of that. These are nice people, talking mainly to nice people, getting their stories, people who have been and are deeply affected by the war, of course. Glidden has an inviting and warm watercolor approach, drawing from hours and hours of taped interviews and observations of the team. Stories of refugees matter, stories of every day people matter. In a way it's a model for others: What could I do in the world and how could I pull it off? View 2 comments. May 29, Julie Ehlers rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-and-cartoonsfree-librarymiddle-east. I'm happy to report that it exceeded my expectations dramatically. In Rolling Blackoutssome independent journalist friends of Glidden head to Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey and Syria to report on the post—Iraq War situation in those countries, particularly as it concerns refugees. Glidden comes along to report on their reporting, and this book is the result. It's very valuable both as a snapshot of what parts of Iraq Syria and Iraq Syria looked like at this time aroundif I'm not mistaken and as an examination of what it takes to be a journalist in this day and age. How do you report on stories truthfully yet still Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey out how to "spin" them so news outlets will Syria and Iraq for them Syria and Iraq people will pay attention? How do you keep your own expectations from coloring your work? If your expectations do end up coloring your work, as sometimes seems inevitable, how do you account for that? Also along on this trip is a childhood friend of the journalists, an American veteran of the Iraq War making a return trip to see what the fallout positive and negative of the conflict has been. The plan is for the veteran's return to become its own story, but of course Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey also having a personal experience, and this circumstance adds quite a bit of tension to the narrative. The topics Rolling Blackouts covers are vitally important, but fortunately the book also manages to be highly readable, so much so that I considered canceling my plans for Saturday night and finishing this book instead I still Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey of wish I had. If you're looking to become better informed about global affairs but aren't sure where to start, I highly recommend comics. They don't trivialize their subjects—far from it, in my experience—but the visual element means the information gets an extra foothold in your brain, and given how much there is to know, this can only be a good thing. As Glidden notes at the end Syria and Iraq this book, the situation in Syria has changed significantly since they visited, and the evolving story is one we should all be paying attention to, yet the audience for such reporting tends to be despairingly small. I'm grateful to Glidden and her friends for trying to change that and for finding such an effective way to do it. View all 13 comments. Mar 05, Nafiza marked it as zz-dnf.

This excellent book could very well be titled "It's Complicated."By Andy OrrockThis excellent book could very well be titled "It's Complicated." Author Sarah Glidden takes her birthright trip to Israel. Her underlying reason for going: to "find out the truth about this whole mess once and for all." Ms. Glidden makes it clear that she feels pretty strongly about the rights of Palestinians, the injustice of the wall, the harshness of Israeli policies. She steels herself against being "brainwashed" (a word she use a few times) by her hosts and guides.But, once there, the author sees the nuances and complications present in all matters. Case in point: her blood starts to boil when she first takes sight of the wall. Far from ignoring it or giving it an impassioned defense, Sarah's guide gives the wall a review from both sides ("My personal opinion is that, while hate how it hurts many people, every day that I wake up and there's no attack on the news, I think about the wall.") Her take: it was "refreshing to hear [him] speak of the negative aspects of the wall without being prompted." This exchange is emblematic of what you'll find throughout the book.Sarah Glidden has crafted a fine remembrance of her trip.

  • Postcolonial Comics: Representing the Subaltern Dominic Davies
    Postcolonial Comics: Representing the Subaltern Dominic Davies Introduction: The Burdens of Representation The front cover of Sarah Glidden’s recent book-length comic, Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq (2016), depicts a scene overlooking a cramped Middle Eastern city. In the foreground, standing on a flat roof in the image’s very center is a man, his eyes concealed by his opaque spectacles. As the comic goes on to reveal, this man, Sam, was once an Iraqi refugee living in the United States until, after being suspected of terrorism (though without convincing evidence), his asylum was revoked, and he was forced to return to his home country. Separated from his family, who remained in America, Sam’s story is one of the many testimonies recorded in Glidden’s comic, as she seeks to educate American readers about the plight of dispossessed and disenfranchised people whose lives are subject to the whimsical policies of governments and the violent ramifications of war. Indeed, the comic seeks to correct the “rolling blackouts” of the mainstream media, representing the personal experiences of those who so often remain nameless, the details of their lives overlooked by the speed of continuous news cycles. This is a project that, as this chapter will show, is an overarching concern for postcolonial literature, culture and criticism more widely, and Glidden’s work is one example of what we might think of as “postcolonial comics. ” Postcolonial Comics 3 Fig.1: The front cover of Sarah Glidden’s book-length piece of comics journalism, Rolling Blackouts: Dispatches from Turkey, Syria, and Iraq (2016).

It's a potentially fraught narrative, especially when thinking about the impact that the war had on the population of Iraq. How does one survive when all hope Syria and Iraq lost? The young journalists struggle with many issues as they select and shape the interviews that Syria and Iraq record, among them war- guilt, and also choices involved in marketing the stories and developing angles that will sell.

  • Comics Journalism: Towards a Definition
    Volume 4 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2017 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Comics Journalism: Towards A Definition Kenan Koçak Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University Turkey Abstract The origins of comics journalism are in the Glasgow Looking Glass magazine which is also accepted as the first modern comics. Today’s understanding of comics journalism goes back to Joyce Brabner and Lou Ann Merkle who published Real War Stories in late 1980s which coincides with the rise of graphic novels. It was Joe Sacco who popularised the comics journalism genre in the early 1990s with especially his books on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Bosnian War. There are undeniable similarities between comics journalism and new journalism of the 1960s and 1970s such as subjective reporting and effort to liken the genre to novel writing. Both comics journalism and new journalism are a kind of literary journalism and have roots in the underground tradition of the 1960s. Like that new journalism grew bigger as being against the Vietnam War, comics journalism has expanded after September 11 attacks. Whereas before 9/11 there were only a few comics journalists, this number has grown more than three times after September 11. The issues covered by comics journalism are mostly shaped by American politics although there are also a number of examples dealing with topics like global warming and protests movements. Comics journalism is the last phase of the long history of visual journalism which can be even traced back to cave paintings. This study aims to make a definition of comics journalism by focusing mainly on war journalism.
