My Great Arab Melancholy by Lamia Ziadé
An illustrated memoir-history that traces the modern Arab world’s traumas and hopes from the mid-20th century through the Arab Spring, blending personal memory with portraits of cities, artists, and political figures. Through vignettes of wars, coups, assassinations, and uprisings—from the Nakba and the Lebanese Civil War to the invasion of Iraq and the Syrian conflict—it mourns devastating losses while celebrating culture, resilience, and everyday beauty, forming an intimate atlas of memory and grief.
