Voices of Mexico no. 124

Our Voice

Co-published by the cisan and unam San Antonio, this issue of Voices of Mexico is the culmination of a cooperative relationship that began in 2023 in the framework of the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States. Faced with the idea of border walls or pauses in relations with our neighbors, as members of the university community, we have taken on the task of building bridges of mutual knowledge based on the online cycle “Readings about the United States. Two Centuries of Diplomatic Relations.” The event culminated in the launch of cisan books at the Second Spanish-Language Book Fair, hosted by unam San Antonio in 2023.

We agreed to celebrate the cisan’s thirty-fifth anniversary together with the eightieth of the unam San Antonio and, in collaboration with the Alamo Plan, we have brought together a diversity of voices about the cultural heritage of the city, where we have met with each other with the crisscrossed visions of academics and artists.
