| Summary: | This paper reviews the changing perceptions Mexico has had of its Eastern region all along its independent life, until the last third of the twentieth century, when it became “our third frontier”. The author shows how this region actually became a physical limit, and, at the same time, a place of contact and interaction, a natural defence area, and a symbolic region, and how it was baptized by the State itself as its “third frontier”, when it extended the defence of its national territory from the coast into the sea. |
