colonisation larvée

French to English Social Sciences Anthropology
Hi all, here's the whole paragraph

'L’origine de ce royaume serait liée à la création de la chefferie de Mbanza Kongo, à la fois ville et capitale du royaume Kongo, d’où seraient parties plusieurs vagues d’infiltration, sous forme de colonisation larvée pour aboutir à un royaume de 6 provinces.'
