At the beginning of the 1930s, a cultural movement close to the November group arose in Xalapa, Veracruz, with the purpose of producing “proletarian literature.” Led by Lorenzo Turrent Rozas, José Mancisidor, Julio de la Fuente and Germán List Arzubide, among others, the movement sprang in part from the Stridentism, a cultural avant-garde active on the 1920s, but it also constituted a critique of it from a closer perspective to social or documentary realism. This group published the magazines Simiente, Noviembre and Ruta, as well as books through its press, Integrales. The present article explores this set of editorial ventures, focusing on its origins, contexts, contents, and the local-international dynamic in its project.

Keywords : Proletarian literature; Noviembre group; Ruta; Integrales; cultural history of Veracruz.
