   • 1970, Ronald Cohen, John Middleton, From tribe to nation in Africa: studies in incorporation processes:

     Both Yoruba and European officials see themselves as "expatriates," persons who are living away from home among an alien people and are obliged ultimately to return to their homeland. To maintain such an image and to complete it, a man should marry a homelander rather than the local person in the foreign area.
