• "In everyday circumstances, people in Africa do not usually think of themselves as ‘African' [WOM citing Mphahele, 1962]."
• "Identity arises from local connections of gender, age, kinship, place, language, religion, and work. Ethnicity comes into play only in the presence of people from a different group. For example, one ‘becomes' . . ." an ‘African' only when among people from another continent, a ‘white' when near to a ‘black,' etc. [WOM citing Senghor, 1967]
