Monterrey. Correo literario de Alfonso Reyes: a publicação do escritor-embaixador e suas convergências e dissonâncias em relação às diretrizes oficiais da Secretaria de Relações Exteriores do México (1930-1937).

The current article analyses the political interests involved in the publication of the periodical Monterrey. Correo Literario de Alfonso Reyes, between 1930 and 1937, mostly during the period in which the Mexican writer acted as ambassador of his country in Brazil. The proposal is to expand the vision that has been shown of this periodical, simply as a personal project of the writer with literary purposes. My argument is that the Monterrey has also had a political function which was part of an official project geared towards international promotion of the post-revolutionary Mexico. By analysing this periodical, I can identify the active participation of the writer-ambassador Alfonso Reyes in this diplomatic policy and we can also identify some dissonant elements between his actuation and the official guidelines of the Mexican external politic in the period.
