NO COUNTRY FOR EIGHT-SPOT BUTTERFLIES - JULIAN ...

'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  author of The Color Purple
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.
