The current national discourse about the border continues to generalize, stereotype, and make invisible the history of communities along the US-Mexico border. Borderlands Archives Cartography was created to visualize, document, and analyze the junction of various cultures and histories of the border region before and after it became the current division line. In this special focus session, co-moderated by LACCHA and IAAS, we facilitate an inspired discussion with the creators of BAC and attendees.
