Ethnical-Cocooning, coined by Reuel-Azriel Lé Flore, is a transformative process whereby an ethnic group breaks away from their native country and heritage, and undergoes an incubation period to emerge as a new, hybrid ethnic group. This process involves assimilating into the new host country, territory, and society, and acculturating by denouncing the ancestral homeland through deprogramming. It is a form of cultural metamorphosis, in which an ethnic group sheds its old identity and embraces a new one, while preserving aspects of their original culture.
As a theory, Ethnical-Cocooning suggests that the transformation of ethnic identity is a natural process of cultural evolution, which is driven by the forces of globalization and migration. It proposes that the hybridization of cultures, resulting from this transformation, can lead to the emergence of new and innovative cultural expressions, which can enrich and diversify society.

My family's experience of ethnical-cocooning began when we moved to a new country and had to adapt to a new culture while also trying to maintain our heritage.

The privacy and lack of critique or lack of complex critique an undiscovered artist has before becoming famous. This disappears once their discovered or become famous. An undiscovered artist usually doesn't realize they had or appreciate their creative cocoon until after they become famous.
Faith Ringgold; Damn, I miss the creative cocoon I had when I was younger
Jacob Lawrence: yeah me too... those were the times
Faith Ringgold: Guess we gotta get used to being well known painters.

Her: Separate cocoons ?
Him: Yes let’s do separate cocoons. I’ll sleep in the brown one and you can sleep in the white one.
