Barriozona is published by the Hispanic Institute of Social Issues and began as a print publication in
December 2002. In the Spring of 2006, Barriozona debuted as an E-zine or on-line magazine to reach a
wider audience. Barriozona is primarily focused on presenting information about the different struggles
faced by members of the generally called Latino/Hispanic community in the United States.

Recognizing that many people are marginalized from society and lack the means of being heard,
Barriozona emphasizes on publishing stories that in many cases are largerly ignored -voluntarily or
involuntarily- by the so called mainstream or corporate media. Barriozona does not pretend to be the
voice of the people or speak for the people. We strongly believe that every human being has his or her
own unique and powerful voice, their own points of view, as well as and his or her own way and ability
to express their feelings and opinions. Barriozona doesn't give a voice, rather presents the voices of
men and women who are not in any way "voiceless" but unable to be heard for or are ignored for
many social, political or other reasons.

Over the years Barriozona has been published, it has fulfilled this living and ongoing mission. Today,
our vision is evolving and expanding, as we document our contemporary struggle.
