Jus was born, in the 1930s, as a university journal of legal issues sponsored by Manuel Gómez Morín, one of the most important intellectuals in the recent history of Mexico, founder of the National Action Party. That original link with the right explains its name: jus (or ius) is the Latin word that designates, precisely, the objective right: the norms. The interest aroused by that magazine encouraged Gómez Morín to go a step further and found, at the beginning of the 1940s, an editorial that no longer dealt only with issues of law, but gave space to Catholic thought and observed history from a critical perspective with the official version. That was, more or less, the profile of the publisher until the beginning of the eighties, when it became a generalist publishing house; that is also the image that many Mexican readers have of Jus: an old Catholic and center-right editorial. Nevertheless, already at the beginning of the decade of 1990, and of the hand of Gabriel Zaid, Jus underwent a first renovation: given the evident transformation of Mexico, the publishing house looked for to open like never before to the western thought, although without losing its catholic roots . At that time, the pages of Jus welcomed such notable feathers as Lanza del Vasto and Flannery O'Connor, Esther Seligson, Jean Meyer and Miguel León Portilla. The new Jus publishing house, recently arrived in Spain, wants to offer its space to the great themes of culture through works of indisputable quality and carefully edited; he wants to intervene in the debates of our time by providing an American perspective, but without breaking the ties that bind us to the best Western tradition; In short, he wants to be a useful instrument in the endless task of understanding us better.
