Produktinformationen "From Unincorporated Territory [Åmot]"
"This book is the fifth collection in Craig Santos Perez's ongoing from unincorporated territory series about the history of his homeland, the western Pacific island of Guêahan (Guam), and the culture of his indigenous Chamoru people. "êAmot" is the Chamoru word for "medicine," and commonly refers to medicinal plants. Traditional healers were known as yo'êamte, and they gathered êamot in the jungle, and recited chants and invocations of taotao'mona, or ancestral spirits, in the healing process. Through experimental and visual poetry, Perez explores how storytelling can become a symbolic form of êamot, offering healing from the traumas of colonialism, militarism, migration, environmental injustice, and the death of elders"--
