description One constant factor that has traversed life in Mexico is the presence of a nationalist sentiment that has confronted Mexicans and non-Mexicans, even before the formation of the republic and before the categories of “national” and “foreigner” were ideologically or legally decanted. National identity has been erected on the basis of a precarious premise that condemns it to persistently separate “insiders” from “outsiders”, an apprehension that has extended not only to those who come from the outside and represent the most obvious example —immigrants— but also those who live among us: Indigenous peoples themselves. The foundation of this research is set as a critical analysis on concepts and principles that form the basis of nationalism that has formed in Mexico; a form of nationalism which is characterized by a powerful homogenous tendency of a nation which sees itself as cohesive and exceptional. This form of nationalism which is ethnic at its core —in order to ensure its survival— is suspicious of foreigners, preventing itself from accepting immigration and to live harmoniously with diversity. This article is an attempt to understand the process of building this difference since the dawn of the independence of Mexico.

This article is an attempt to understand the process of building this difference since the dawn of the independence of Mexico. Una constante que ha recorrido la vida de México es la presencia de un sentimiento nacionalista que ha enfrentado a mexicanos y no mexicanos, con anterioridad, incluso, a la formación de la república y previo a que las categorías de “nacional” y “extranjero” estuvieran ideológica o jurídicamente decantadas. La identidad nacional se ha erigido sobre la base de una premisa precaria que la condena a apartar persistentemente a “propios” de “extraños”, aprensión que se ha extendido no solo a quienes vienen de afuera y representan el ejemplo más evidente —los inmigrantes—, sino incluso a quienes viven entre nosotros: los propios pueblos indígenas. El trabajo ha sido elaborado sobre la base de una revisión crítica de conceptos y principios que forman los cimientos del tipo particular de nacionalismo que se desarrolló en México, caracterizado por una poderosa tendencia homogeneizadora como condición de una nación cohesionada y excepcional. Se trata de un nacionalismo etnificado que —por razones de sobrevivencia— recela del extranjero, impidiéndole abrirse a la inmigración y convivir naturalmente con la diversidad. Este artículo es un intento por comprender el proceso de construcción de la diferencia desde los albores de la independencia de México.
