In late 1934, Langston Hughes, already established as a leading voice of literary Black America, traveled to Mexico City, where he stayed for more than five months and began translating short fiction by prominent Mexican and Cuban writers. These stories, as he wrote to a friend, explore "the revolutions and uprisings, sugar cane, Negroes, Indians, corrupt generals, [and] American imperialists," and are "mostly all left stories, because practically all the writers down here are left these days."
