Here are entered works on the absorption of a minority group into the culture, values, and social behaviors of the dominant culture whether by force, voluntarily, or a combination of the two. Works on cultural change caused by prolonged contact between social groups, leading to a change in one or both cultures, are entered under [Acculturation.] Works on the often unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of elements of a minority culture by members of a dominant culture are entered under [Cultural appropriation.]

Directory metadata is not a factual answer or evidence of a global knowledge gap.
