This article is an effort to analyze the several different theoretical debates surrounding the diasporas and the diasporic identities; in particular the interstate demographic migration (Chiapas, Mexico), voluntary in nature (young people driven out to pursue their advance studies) on which I occupy most of my time while in the process of the developing my current investigation. The fundamental analytic axis is the notion of identity, driving my interest to develop a theoretical dialogue between my investigation and the characteristic elements of the diasporas.

Keywords : Identity; diaspora; diasporic identity; interstate demographic migration.
