本届普利策社论漫画奖的主题是“难民家庭的日常挣扎”（Welcome to the New World）,由《纽约时报》自由拟稿人Jake Halpern和自由漫画家Michael Sloan制作。作为一个20集的连续漫画，“难民家庭的日常挣扎”文如其名，讲述了叙利亚两兄弟Jamil和Ammar于2012年带着妻儿逃离家乡，一路上颠沛流离，在约旦苦等四年后，终于拿到了美国的难民签证的故事。当他们在2016年11月8日到达美国时，恰巧是选举日。那是历史性的一刻，对于这两兄弟而言，虽然他们已经到达了美国，但美国却在他们第二天醒来时已经大变天了。特朗普政府的新移民政策扼杀了这两兄弟对于美好生活的幻想，未来对他们而言依旧是未知的。A story about ordinary people navigating a strange land, in even stranger times.

On the eve of the US elections, a Syrian family leave their world behind for a chance at the American dream. But as the first day of their new life dawns, they are greeted by the news of Donald Trump's victory. It's as if they arrived in one country, and woke up in another. What does that mean for their past, their future... their home?

Welcome to the New World began as a ground-

breaking comic strip in the New York Times. Every week, the Aldabaan family's experiences would be retold as a cartoon strip - keeping step as events unfolded in real life. One Pulitzer Prize later, this stunning graphic novel fills in the gaps, gradually revealing an America which is full of contradictions: foreign yet familiar, ignorant but kind, cruel yet generous. It's also an intimate portrait of family dynamics and everyday fortitude, from the first day at a new school to getting a new job (any job!) against the clock. It seems that if you can't turn back, the only way to go is onwards.
