The Binational Press Border Imprint All books on this page are in-print and on sale via the SDSU Press/Amazon.com cyberstore San Diego State University, Imperial Valley Campus, has a joint agreement with the Press of the Autonomous University of Baja California in the Mexican border capitol of Mexicali, B.C. Under this agreement, the Binational Press/Editorial Binacional was founded in 1987 to co-publish works that deal with issues related to the U.S./Mexican border. These works feature writing by new, emerging, and established Mexican and U.S. writers who deal in some way with border experience. What makes this venture unique is that it is simultaneously regional and international and supports the mutual sharing of all editorial and production responsibilities by members of these institutions, made possible by their close proximity and participation in a common border culture. To reflect these interests, each volume presents works originating in both English and Spanish along with their translations into the other language.     Artes plasticas en la frontera Mexico / Estados Unidos -- Visual Arts on the U.S./Mexican Border edited by Harry Polkinhorn, Rogelio Reyes, Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz  | ISBN: 0-916304-93-0  Paper / Pages: 170 / $12.50 Illustrated  (1991) This title will fill a gap in border scholarship, most of which has dealt with issues in the social and physical sciences.
