From the introduction: "A Few Thoughts on La Frontera" by Katlin Sweeney

"La frontera occupies a political and geographical significance to folx residing in the Americas that cannot be overlooked, especially in our contemporary moment. As leading political figures and commentators feign empathy for the human rights violations of Latinxs at the border yet make no moves to intervene, it is clear that the work of unpacking the significant influence of la frontera as both a physical location and figurative space is relevant to both media discourse and creative work. Writing, art-making, and photography are forms of labor that must be pursued; they generate an activist space in which writers and creators can transgress dominant ideologies and demand attention for issues that may otherwise go overlooked."
