PULIDO HERRAEZ, Begoña. Alfonso Reyes and Mexican Literature in the Revue de l’Amérique Latine (1922-1932). Lit. mex [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, pp.67-98.  Epub Aug 17, 2020. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.31.1.2020.1127.

The article intends to study the presence of Mexican literature in the Revue de l’Amérique Latine (published in Paris between 1922 and 1932), in order to know some aspects of the diffusion of Hispanic American literature in France in the most important Latin American magazine from the twenties. It is also about knowing the forms of transatlantic dialogue between Mexico and France in the same period. We emphasise the participation of Alfonso Reyes (diplomatic representative in France between 1925 and 1927) in the Revue and his relationship with the publishing group. Reyes is the Mexican intellectual most translated and edited in the magazine. At the same time, among the French publications in which the work of Reyes is reviewed and translated, it is in the Revue de l’Amérique Latine that the presence is greatest. The paper concludes by pointing out the role of this magazine in the dissemination of the work of Reyes in France in the 1920s.
