The objective of this article is to analyze the topic of alternative history and its various manifestations in recent Mexican narratives. In his novel Si tú quieres, moriré [If you want me to, I will die], Gerardo Laveaga joins the study of the so-called "philosophy of the Mexican" and presents, though a historical and fictional plot, a reflection on the key moments in which Mexico lost the chance to change its future. Other type of alternative histories, such as the ones imagined by Mauricio Molina in Tiempo lunar [Moon time] and the two novels by Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz analyzed in this article, step away from the counterfactual and uchronic model represented by Laveaga's work and imagine a type of interdimensional journey or time travel which can be explained scientifically. In all cases, this imagination of alternative worlds implies a negative assessment of the present and of a History which, both nationally and internationally, is marked by intolerance, violence and the rejection of difference
