No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay by Julian Aguon

4.0

A critical and delightful book. COP27 starts today, and in a year in which they claim they are focusing on climate reparations for the global south from wealthier nations this book excellently highlights the ways in which “developed” nations profit economically and militarily from the exploitation of other countries, especially those with less economic resources and global political power. Guam is often overlooked and forgotten by Americans and I hope Aguon’s personal and political, urgent and joyous lyric essays reach a wide audience and gives Guam more space in the American and global consciousness. Also Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 4ever ❤️❤️❤️
