Borderlanders / Fronterizos

Exploring the US-Mexico Border through stories, scholarship, and expressive culture.

Explorando la frontera a través de la literatura, la academia y la cultura expresiva.

Reimagining the US-Mexico Border

“Borderlanders/Fronterizos” is a new interdisciplinary journal published by TCU Press committed to the study of “la frontera” between the United States and Mexico.

Edited by a cross-disciplinary team of scholars and journalists spanning the international divide, the journal aims to be a leading source for fact-based reporting, analysis, and commentary that demonstrates the border region’s vibrancy, resilience, and dialogue.

We welcome contributions from scholars, community leaders, journalists, organizers, and artists alike, situated in or afar from the border, and committed to affirming that borders are not merely lines of division but living places to understand, celebrate, and reimagine.

The inaugural issue of “Borderlanders/Fronterizos” is expected to be published in Fall 2027. Stay tuned!
