A digital map that shows the cartography of newspapers along the U.S.-Mexico border and documents the geographic locations of magazines from the nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries is part of the BAC project. It is a personal project without any financial backing or funding of any kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea is based on the strong political language that is currently prevalent and portrays the ideological and geographic border between the United States and Mexico as a threat. As people who grew up along the border, the political discourse does not reflect our viewpoints. We view the borderland as a place where various cultures coexist under powerful political, economic, and social hegemonies. It is also a place where distinct regions keep their individual identities while influencing one another. As members of the borderlands communities, we recognize the value of showcasing local content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ADDITIONAL<br>This project is independent of any institutions and was started and funded by its founders.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><br><br><br><strong>Sylvia A.
