Part of the rich culinary tradition is our family gumbo recipe. My family origins are from South Carolina and Louisiana, and the combination of the regions can make a…

Introduction Adakites are volcanic rocks that are diagnostic of high temperature, high pressure conditions, (Stevenson, 2005).

Questions such as what does it mean to be home and what is a home are constantly circulating throughout the text and tend to haunt the Mestiza body as a raced, foreign, and oriental body.

The aim of this research is to provide insight regarding the research question and a contribution on how to solve these societal issues to create a better community. Between the years 2014 and 2015, police violence in the U.S. “generated a national conversation about the nature of America's law enforcement” (Wang 2015, 1).
