“Elegantly realized.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The wall stands as a dreadful symbol of oppression. The spirit of resistance may be strong but Palestinians need international support. I hope this book makes that more likely.” —Ken Loach, filmmaker
“This book will help eventually pull down the wall.”
—Damon Albarn, musician
“A singular achievement—both a stunning photographic essay of how Israel’s concrete wall has cut into Palestinian land and strangled whole communities and a powerful visual record of how local and international graffiti artists have battered it with their only weapons, paint and spray cans.”
—Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza
