Place, belonging, and the strength found in community
Students explore how physical spaces — neighborhoods, homes, barrios, and borderlands — shape identity and become sites of both oppression and resilience. Through a vignette about a Latina girl who finds power in the very neighborhood others dismiss, and a poem about a family rebuilding after displacement, students discover that home is not just where you live — it is what you refuse to let anyone take from you.
