SOLA AYAPE, Carlos. José Elguero, Mexican Journalist and Hispanist: Contributions to a Biography (1885-1939). Secuencia [online]. 2023, n.116, e2060.  Epub June 09, 2023. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i116.2060.

José Elguero Videgaray was one of the leading Mexican Hispanists in the first half of the 20th century. A lawyer by training, although a journalist by profession and inclination, he contributed numerous articles to the most prominent newspapers of the time such as El País and Excélsior. Refusing to write what others ordered, he was frequently exiled. The article describes this journalist, writer and academic from Michoacán, who lived through the Porfirian regime and the early decades of the Mexican Revolution, to shed light on his little-known life.

Keywords : catholicism; hispanism; José Elguero; Mexican national identity; Mexican revolution.
