    Mexico.

    Explanation:

    Leonard Adame's poem "My Grandmother Would Rock Quietly and Hum" is a poem about the speaker's grandmother. He recalls his memories about her, the things she used to do and how she used to take care of them.

    Creating a nostalgic tone of the poem, the narrator talks of how his memories of his grandmother had faded. He recalls how she used to wake up early and make breakfast for the other family members, even though she couldn't eat them for she no longer have any teeth. She also used to tell him tales about their home country, that is Mexico and the 'strange' things there. The poet mentions that she talks of 'strange things', epidemics, relatives getting shot at which was something uncommon in their adopted country of America. The poet also tells of how his "father's hopes of this country ... how they sank with cement dust to his insides". The poem is an altogether reminiscing of his grandmother's memories and their times together.
