<abstract>
<p>&quot;What has been of special interest for me has been the extension of
postcolonial concerns to the problems of geography&quot;  (Said, 1994:21).
The application of postcolonial theories enables us to question myths,
apparently established boundaries and therewith related categorizations
between indigenous peoples and the dominant Mestizo society within an urban
Mexican context. By the use of post-/colonial images and stereotypes of the
indigenous other, folkloristic, romanticizing and racist differentiations
are upheld and reproduced within younger generations. In contrast to that
postcolonial forms of resistance try to challenge these myths or use them as
strategic essentialisms in an everyday practical meaning. This specific
perspective allows other possibilities for empirical challenges.</p>
