Description

The great New Mexican author Rudolfo Anaya wrote “querencia is love of home, love of place.” There is a spiritual, familial element to the word, at least how New Mexicans perceive it. The writer, poet, and researcher Juan Estevan Arellano says 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.”
