Abstract: Summary: "Call this mutiny is the seventh book from award-winning and internationally-renowned Pacific Islander author Craig Santos Perez. These poems were originally published in journals and anthologies between 2008-2023, but this is the first time they have been collected into a single volume. Throughout, Perez continues his critical exploration of native cultures, decolonial politics, colonial histories, and the entangled ecologies of his homeland of Guam, his current residence of Hawaiʻi, and the larger Pacific region in relation to the Global South and the Indigenous Fourth World. As he reminds us about the power of storytelling: 'If we can write the ocean, we will never be silenced.'"-- Provided by publisher.
