<p><b>Indigenization</b> is the act of making something more indigenous; transformation of some service, idea, etc. to suit a local culture, especially through the use of more <a href="Indigenous_peoples" title="Indigenous peoples">indigenous people</a> in <a href="Public_administration" title="Public administration">public administration</a>, employment and other fields.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The term is primarily used by <a href="Anthropologist" title="Anthropologist">anthropologists</a> to describe what happens when locals take something from the outside and make it their own (such as: <a href="Africanization" title="Africanization">Africanization</a> or <a href="Americanization" title="Americanization">Americanization</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The first use of the word <i>indigenization</i> recorded by the <a href="OED" class="mw-redirect" title="OED">OED</a> is in a 1951 paper about studies conducted in India about <a href="Christian_missionaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian missionaries">Christian missionaries</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The word was used to describe the process of making churches indigenous in southern India.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was used in <i><a href="The_Economist" title="The Economist">The Economist</a></i> in 1962 to describe managerial positions and in the 1971 book <i>English Language in West Africa</i> by John Spencer, where it was used to describe the adoption of English. Indigenization is often used to describe the adoption of <a href="Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonial</a> culture in Africa because of the effects of colonialism by Europe in the 19th and the early 20th centuries.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="History_of_the_use">History of the use</h3></div>

<p>Throughout history, the process of making something indigenous has taken different forms. Other words that describe similar processes of making something local are <a href="Africanization" title="Africanization">Africanization</a>, <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/localization" class="extiw external" title="wikt:localization">localization</a>, <a href="Glocalization" title="Glocalization">glocalization</a>, and <a href="Americanization" title="Americanization">Americanization</a>. However, those terms describe a specific case of the process of making something indigenous. The terms may be rejected in favor of the more general term of indigenization because the others may have too narrow of a scope. For example, <a href="Christianization" title="Christianization">christianization</a> was a form of indigenization by converting areas and groups to follow <a href="Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Linguistics">Linguistics</h3></div>

<p>In this context, indigenization is used to refer to how a language is adopted in a certain area such as <a href="African_French" title="African French">French in Africa</a>. The term is used to describe the process where a language needed to be indigenized was in Africa where the ex-colonizer's language required some references to <a href="Religion_in_Africa" title="Religion in Africa">African religion</a> and <a href="Culture_of_Africa" title="Culture of Africa">culture</a>, even though in the original language there was no vocabulary for this. As this process is being carried out, there is usually a <a href="Metalanguage" title="Metalanguage">metalanguage</a> created that is some combination of the original language and the introduced language. This language shares cultural aspects from both cultures, making it distinct and usually done in order to understand the foreign language in the context of the local region. Sometimes the term indigenization is preferred over other terms such as <a href="Africanization" title="Africanization">Africanization</a> because it carries no negative connotations and does not imply any underlying meaning.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Economy">Economy</h3></div>

<p>Indigenization is seen as the process of changing someone to a person of more corroboration towards their surroundings. A large part of that process is the economy of said surroundings. Indigenization has played an important part in the economic roles of society.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Thanks to The <a href="Indigenisation_and_Economic_Empowerment_Act" title="Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act">Indigenization and Economic Empowerment Act</a>, black people were offered a more distinguished position in the economy, with foreigners having to give up 51% of their business to black people.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Open_Door_Policy" title="Open Door Policy">China's Open Door Policy</a> is seen as a big step of indigenization for their economy, as it is opening its doors to the western world. This allowed different cultures to experience one another and opened up China's businesses to the western world as well, which set China forth in a sort of <a href="Microeconomic_reform" title="Microeconomic reform">economic reform</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Social_work">Social work</h3></div>

<p>Another big part of indigenization is social work, although it is unknown what the actual process is when social forces come into place.<sup id="cite_ref-:22_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:22-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Indigenization is seen by some as less of a process of naturalization and more of a process of culturally relevant social work. Indigenization was not the standard, but it was a way to accustom others to a surrounding point of view but also to help understand where the people came from and their heritage.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, some argue that the indigenization of social work may work when it comes to foreigners being brought into Western cultures, it would not work as well in non-Western cultures. They also argue that Western cultures seem to exaggerate the similarities and the differences between Western and foreign cultures.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Indigenization_and_the_Economic_Empowerment_Act">Indigenization and the Economic Empowerment Act</h3></div>

<p>The <a href="Indigenisation_and_Economic_Empowerment_Act" title="Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act">Indigenization and Economic Empowerment Act</a> was passed by <a href="Parliament_of_Zimbabwe" title="Parliament of Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe Parliament</a> in 2008. It is a set of regulations meant to regulate businesses, compelling foreign-owned firms to sell 51-percent of their business to native Zimbabweans over the following years. Five-year jail terms are assigned to foreigners who do not submit an indigenisation plan or use natives as fronts for their businesses.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The intent of the law is to ensure the country's indigenous members fulfill a more prominent role in the economy. Controversy rose over this intent, with opponents stating that the law will scare away foreign investors. Indigenous <a href="Demographics_of_Zimbabwe" title="Demographics of Zimbabwe">Zimbabweans</a> are defined as "any person who, before the 18th April, 1980 [when <a href="Zimbabwe" title="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</a> gained independence from <a href="British_Empire" title="British Empire">Britain</a>], was disadvantaged by unfair discrimination on the grounds of his or her race, and any descendant of such person, and includes any company, association, syndicate or partnership of which indigenous Zimbabweans form the majority of the members or hold the controlling interest".<sup id="cite_ref-:12_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>This provision allows the minister of youth development, indigenization and economic empowerment, <a href="Saviour_Kasukuwere" title="Saviour Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a>, to keep a database of indigenous businesses from which foreign interest can pick partners. At the time of the law passing, the ruling party in Zimbabwe was <a href="Zimbabwe_African_National_Union_%E2%80%93_Patriotic_Front" class="mw-redirect" title="Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front">Zanu-PF</a>, led by the president <a href="Robert_Mugabe" title="Robert Mugabe">Robert Mugabe</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Saviour Kasukuwere is a member of this party, which brought up skepticism among economists who speculated that the database may be used by the party to give its allies the best deals. Mr. Kasukuwere stated that he will implement the law regardless of objections.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_6-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
