'A powerful, beautiful book. Its fierce love - of the land, the
ocean, the elders and the ancestors - warms the heart and moves the
spirit.' - Alice Walker 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. Aguon
beautifully weaves together stories from his childhood in the
villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters
ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Bearing witness and
reckoning with the challenges of truth-telling in an era of rampant
obfuscation, he culls from his own life experiences to illuminate a
collective path out of the darkness. A powerful and bold new voice
writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental
justice, Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the
Pacific who are fighting to liberate themselves from colonial rule,
defend their sacred sites and obtain justice for generations of
harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, Aguon shares his
wisdom and reflections on love, grief, joy and triumph, and extends
an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world.
