From Unincorporated Territory [lukao]

from unincorporated territory lukao] is the fourth book in native Chamorro poet Craig Santos Perez's ongoing series about his homeland, the Western Pacific Island of Gu han (Guam), and his current home, Hawai?i. He utilizes eco-poetic, decolonial, diasporic, indigenous, documentary, epic, and avant-garde modes to weave stories of creation, birth, migration, food sovereignty, and parenting. This work not only protests the devastating impacts of colonialism, militarism, and environmental injustice across the Pacific, it also expresses a vision of a sustainable and hopeful future.
