1962L. Singer in Social Research XXIX. 423 Following Emancipation, the group-forming process moved with much greater speed and intensity than before. I propose that this formative process be referred to as ‘ethnogenesis’, meaning by this term the process whereby a people, that is an ethnic group, comes into existence. 1965G. Wheeler Mod. Hist. Soviet Central Asia i. 8 They have traced the ethnogenesis of each people much farther back. 1983Trans. Philol. Soc. 163 At some time there was contact, but this must have been in the Indo-European period before the ethnogenesis of either group. |
