No country for eight-spot butterflies
Aguon, Julian2022
Book
Part memoir, part manifesto, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon's 'No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies' is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice-for everyone, but in particular, for Indigenous peoples. In bracing poetry and compelling prose, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming.
