Ethnogenesis refers to the creation of a new culture by a group of people who have been oppressed or colonized by dominant powers. It involves the development of distinct cultural practices and beliefs that are often a blend of the group's original culture and the dominant culture. Diasporization refers to the spread of a group of people across various geographic locations due to forced displacement or migration. Acculturation refers to the process of adopting the cultural practices and beliefs of another group. Diffusion refers to the spread of cultural practices and beliefs from one group to another through contact and interaction.
