- Synopsis
- New Mexico cultural envoy Juan Estevan Arellano, to whom this work is dedicated, writes that querencia &“is that which gives us a sense of place, that which anchors us to the land, that which makes us a unique people, for it implies a deeply rooted knowledge of place, and for that reason we respect it as our home.&”This sentiment is echoed in the foreword by Rudolfo Anaya, in which he writes that &“querencia is love of home, love of place.&” This collection of both deeply personal reflections and carefully researched studies explores the New Mexico homeland through the experiences and perspectives of Chicanx and indigenous/Genízaro writers and scholars from across the state. The importance of querencia for each contributor is apparent in their work and their ongoing studies, which have roots in the culture, history, literature, and popular media of New Mexico. Be inspired and enlightened by these essays and discover the history and belonging that is querencia.
