I learned more about Guam in these 100 odd pages than I'd learned before in my life.

There are so many shout outs to favorite authors and activists. Including Arundhati Roy, Louise Erdrich, Joy Harjo, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Epeli Hau'ofa, Anne Perez Hattori (historian), Teresia Teaiwa

Book is full of lovely little gems of writing and insight. I do wish it was longer and had a bit more substantive essays. However I really enjoyed it!

So beautiful from beginning to end. A book to feed the souls of truth tellers and freedom fighters. Masterful and audacious in its simple earnestness and its emotional capacity. It is both timeless and timely. I will carry this one with me for a long while. Reading this feels like the greatest hug that you never want to end.
