Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial El Disturbio Eterno Comic. The Muzaffarnagar riots, a series of episodes of communal violence that took place in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 2013, were not much more bloody or larger in scale than others that had occurred previously in India: several fatalities and tens of thousands of inhabitants forced to leave their land.It is something that has already happened in the past and will probably happen again, seeing Hindus and Muslims confronting each other with firearms and swords, spurred on by hate speech and strings of mutual accusations.When religious slogans abound, the truth becomes elusive.In Paying the Land, Joe Sacco travels throughout Uttar Pradesh to speak with government officials, political leaders, local ringleaders, and, above all, the victims, mostly landless peasants.His goal is to understand these riots through the lens of political violence.In the process, he investigates the roots of the clashes and asks himself about some central facts: can savagery coexist with a democracy? Are mobs and not leaders the ones who decide the course of events? How can such different accounts of what happened coexist? How do the violent manage to hide their participation in these homicidal acts? After delivering several chronicles about the urgent stories that define our world, from the First World War to the Gaza War, Joe Sacco now offers a magnificently drawn report that, while taking us to a specific corner of India, its implications serve as a mirror to any other multi-ethnic place where there is a precarious balance between communities.The critics have said.
