Paying the Land by Joe Sacco

5.0

Another outstanding work by journalist Joe Sacco. Paying the Land is nuanced, gorgeously illustrated (I appreciated Sacco's more mature and less garish style in this book as compared to Palestine), and thoughtful in its approach to the challenges facing the Dene people of the Northwest Territories in Canada. I appreciated how Sacco pursued a wide variety of voices. He told the stories of the Dene people with dignity and amplified the voices of the men and women working to honor and maintain their cultural identity.

I highly recommend this outstanding piece of comic journalism.
