Puentes: revista mexico-chicana de literatura, cultura y arte was founded in 2003 to promote Chicano and Mexican literature, culture and art. The journal is divided into sections of “Ensayo/Crítica” (Essay/Criticism), “Narrativa” (Narrative), “Poesía” (Poetry), “Testimonio” (Testimony), “Entrevista” (Interview) and “Arte” (Art). The journal publishes works written in English and Spanish but emphasis is given to works written in Spanish as a way to promote and maintain the Spanish language among Chicanos/as and our Spanish-speaking communities across the country. Puentes is published once a year and is funded in part by the College of Liberal Arts and the Office of the Provost of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and by private donors.
