The Once And Future Riot by Joe Sacco
In The Once and Future Riot, Joe Sacco investigates the 2013 Muzaffarnagar communal clashes in Uttar Pradesh, India, by interviewing officials, community leaders, and victims. Through immersive visual reportage he traces how rumors, competing narratives, crowd dynamics, and political maneuvering combine to produce and justify sectarian violence. The book uses this specific riot as an archetype for understanding how communal conflict can erupt and be remembered in fragile multiethnic societies.
