Abstract
This study, following the theoretical work of Homi Bhabha, analyzes Apaches by Víctor Hugo Rascón Band as a discourse of the alterity and representation of indigenous peoples. The intention is to unveil the identitarian uncertainty of conquerors and conquered, as well as the ambivalence of colonial discourse, which is manifested when the "native" becomes an object of scorn, but also of desire. The dramatic progression of the play is explained in terms of the action of seeing — seeing in the Other and seeing oneself. In this sense, the problematic representation of Apaches in the ethno-social constructions of Mexico in the Nineteenth Century is brought to the fore. What role did these indigenous people play in the creation of national sovereignty? How was the transitory territory of the Apaches understood in Mexico?
