Notes

1. Our use of ‘ethnicity’ encompasses, but is not limited to phenotypical markers (race) as markers defining an ethnic group. It is informed by CitationSchermerhorn's (12) definition of an ethnic group as “a collectivity … having a real or putative common ancestry, memories of a shared historical past, a cultural focus on one or more symbolic elements defined as the epitome of their peoplehood … [such as one or a combination of] kinship patterns, … religious affiliation, language, … nationality, phenotypical features [– and] some consciousness of kind among members of the group”.

2. Who used secondary analysis of documents to support what is essentially a theoretical analysis.
