Abstract
Studying Diasporas brings together sociological, anthropological and historical interest and research, mainly due to the research potential offered, in addition to the possibility of understanding, more fully, the cultural processes and challenges presented to theory and methodology. New realities demand new concepts to describe Diaspora concepts such as trans-nationalism, Diaspora and citizens of the Diaspora. In this essay, I will direct my attention, first, to explain the criteria by which we define and reflect on the phenomenon of the Diaspora. This will he accomplished by taking into consideration some of the most outstanding authors who have worked with this theme, and later I will describe and analyze, using this analytical construct, the distensions of the Diaspora concerning the Cape Verde community in Argentina. My objective cart be summarized as follows: I hope to contribute to the development of a "Historic map” of Cape Verde Diaspora, given that much of this experience has not yet been written. This "map" will continue to be built, through a network of stories that are somewhat connected, in times and spaces where the issue of displaced persons cross, re-inventing and re-making a more permanent map.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
