English term or phrase: equated himself with
From "The development of literary blackness in the Dominican Republic" (Stinchcomb 2004)

Notwithstanding their contributions to the evolution of poesía negroide and Afro-Dominican literature, Mir and Marrero Aristy never really affirmed their own blackness. Both men were mulattoes, and although concerned about injustices that all poor people suffered, neither spoke openly of his African heritage or **equated himself with** Haitians, cocolos, or black Dominicans.

Note: The idea of "equating oneself with" might considered very similar to (if the not the same as) "identifying oneself as" (which is used throughout the book, and different from "identifying with"). What I need is another way of saying "identify himself as" (keeping in mind I'm already using "identificarse como" for "to identify oneself as").

What do think of "señalarse" or "visualizarse"?

se veía a sí mismo como/se consideraba (o equiparaba con)


Explanation:
Creo que lo más claro sería decir que no se veían a sí mismos como haitianos o que no se consideraban (a sí mismos) haitianos.
