History and profile

Nexos was founded in 1978.[2] The founders were a group of Intellectuals headed by Héctor Aguilar Camín.[3] The magazine modeled on the New York Review of Books.[2] Since the establishment of the magazine a number of leading intellectuals among its writers and contributors, such as José Woldenberg and Wendy Guerra have edited it. The magazine is published on a monthly basis.[4]

The magazine has socialist political views,[4] and is a representative of the left-wing cultural and literary establishments in the country.[5] It supported militant actions to offer social justice and equality to the poor in the 1980s.[2] However, since the leftist government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office in 2018 in Mexico, the director of Nexos, Hector Aguilar Camín, has created an alliance with right-wing political forces against López Obrador.[6]
