Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Founded in 1973, the Bilingual Press | Editorial Bilingüe (BP | EB) was established to publish fiction, poetry, art catalogues, and academic writing about the Chicano community at a time when the major mainstream publishing houses were not interested in Chicano writing.
Since that time, the BP | EB has published hundreds of titles in English, Spanish, and bilingual editions. After a period of dormancy, the press is now relaunching with the newly created librito series.
The librito series honors the press's legacy of producing high quality art books, now in a reimagined format at an affordable price and in a convenient size. Through the librito series, we aim to provide broad, bilingual access to the complexity and beauty that pervades Latino and Chicano art. The first librito, Dia de los Muertos: A Chicano Arts Legacy written by Dr. Mathew Sandoval, was released in both English and Spanish editions in October 2025.
