---

This study explores the colonial discourse in the novel A Bend in The River by V.S. Naipaul and This Earth of Mankind by P.A. Toer. This study uses a descriptive gualitative method using Homi K. Bhabha's ambivalence approach. Data collection is carried out by reviewing the literature of these novels and articles related to the object of study. The results show that there are several ambivalent Characters in the book. In the novel This Earth of Mankind, Minke and Nyai Ontosoroh represent ambivalent figures from the colonized. At the same time, on the colonial side, there are Herman Mallema and Juffrow Magda Peters. In the novel, 4 Bend in The River, Salim and Indar's characters represent the colonized party and the character of Father Huismans, who brings colonial discourse. Ambivalence appears in both novels due to the factor of progress civilized as a discourse of colonialism owned by Europe. Through the results of this research, the community could identify how the discourse of colonialism is still developing today and as an effort to create colonized agencies in former colonies through the development of science.
