Product Description
by Moises Saman (Photographer), Sinan Antoon (Preface by), Cale Salih (Epilogue by)
Twenty years ago, Moises Saman was working in Iraq as a photojournalist during the US-led invasion and occupation. Glad Tidings of Benevolence combines his photographs taken during this period and the following years with disparate documentation and texts. Collectively, these materials raise questions about the complex representation of war, competing narratives and the truths buried within the clamour--at a time when the war begins to recede from global public memory.
