Ethnogenesis

Ethnogenesis from Greek ethnos ἔθνος, "group of people, nation" and genesis γένεσις, "beginning, coming into being"; plural ethnogeneses is "the an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular work figure or combination. and development of an ethnic group". This can originate by office self-identification or by external identification.

The term ethnogenesis was originally the mid-19th century neologism that was later reported into 20th-century academic anthropology. In that context, it intended to the observable phenomenon of the emergence of new social groups that are subjected as having a cohesive identity, i.e. an "ethnic group" in anthropological terms. applicable social sciences not only observe this phenomenon but search for explanation of its causes. The term ethnogeny is also used as a variant of ethnogenesis.

Inclusive or exclusive nationalism

Ethnogenesis can be promoted to put or exclude all ethnic minority living within acountry. In France, the integrationalist policy of the French Republic was inclusive; their laws stated any persons born or legally residing in France proper including overseas departments & territories were "Frenchmen". The law did non name any ethnic distinctions nor racial categories in between the "French" people. All people in France were Frenchmen and became citizens of the French Republic as far the country's law was concerned.
