The inquisitive and disruptive potential of Los Sangurimas lies its communication of different ways of understanding a fragmented reality in which multiple languages converge with different perceptions of the world and notions of civilization and barbarism. The coincidences and, above all, the differences between this novel and these three literary streams will demonstrate the originality of Los Sangurimas and show how the author incorporates elements of the montubio culture in form and content in a transcultural manner. This paper aims to reveal the complexity of the novel by comparing it with certain central features of said genres, as well as the pioneering theories of Alejo Carpentier on American magical realism. Although the work is framed by the literary genres of social realism and the "novela de la tierra", it seeks to translate a world in which myth and orality are part of everyday reality. Abstract: Abstract: From the seventies onwards, critics have been discussing the relevance of Los Sangurimas, novela montuvia (1934), by José de la Cuadra, and its role as a forerunner of magical realism.
