 Who's Indigenous
This is a historical rather than a geographical process, a political rather than a cultural phenomenon: it involves the enclosing of cultural pockets inside a country by contrast with the conquest of external dependencies.
The ideal type of an "enclave nation" is the model of an ethnic nation in control of its enclave where most of its members live and constitute the majority population.
Moreover, all enclaves, by definition, have an ethnic character -- they are occupied by people who are culturally different from those who enclose them -- counties and provinces are also bounded places in a state but they are not enclaves when their residents cannot be distinguished culturally from the peoples who enclose them.

 ENCLAVES: THEORY
Enclave Nations: some "national peoples" live in exclaves, and others in enclaves, i.e., some are geographically separated from the country they belong to, but others are enclosed by it.
Thus, although we may see an enclave as a "minority people", in fact it is often a place (region, zone) with a mixed population, with both dominant and marginalized minorities.
Historically, the new states created since World War II are former exclaves, and virtually all the exclaves of the modern empires have become states (the exclaves of traditional empires gained their independence earlier, especially after World War I).

 Farm History
While American communitarianism has historically had stronger and weaker periods, it has been an ongoing theme in American life for over three centuries, and it was very much there when a new generation of dissenters decided to give it a whirl.
That is not to say that every new commune deliberately studies the historic communal tradition and tries to build on it.
Catholic communitarianism historically has been centered in the religious orders, and as the larger culture shifted in midcentury the winds of change blew through many of them.

 Early Enclaves : Historical Society of Pennsylvania
While revolutionaries, merchants, and diplomats from the Spanish-speaking world passed through colonial and early national Philadelphia, the formation of resident Spanish-speaking communities in the city dates to the latter half of the 19th century, as Philadelphia became important in the manufacture of tobacco products and Cuban and Puerto Rican cigar makers settled in the area.
Another enclave of Spanish-speakers was concentrated in Northern Liberties, home to cigar-making factories as well as to the offices of the Cigar Makers International Union Local #165 (at 13th and Spring Garden Streets) and the Marshall Street Market, a center of community life.
Between 1920 and 1960, the stretch of Marshall Street running north from Spring Garden to Girard Avenue was a hub of commercial activity, attracting many Spanish-speaking workers to the nearby cigar and garment factories.

 Major Religions Ranked by Size
From a sociological and historical perspective, most religions have arisen from within existing religious frameworks: Christianity from Judaism, Buddhism from Hinduism, Babi and Baha'i faiths from Islam, etc. For the purposes of defining a religion we need to have some cutoff point.
As is true with all major religions, there are adherents within all branches of Islam who consider some of or all of the other branches heterodox or not actually part of their religion.
From a worldwide and historical perspective, Vodoun is properly classified as a branch of African diasporic religion, in the same way that Lutheranism is a subset of Christianity.

Under the long shadows cast by the giddy towers and spires are the dusty temples, fragrant medicinal shops, and colonial buildings of old Singapore, neatly divided into historical enclaves, each home to a different ethnic culture.
Much of Singapore’s fascination springs from its multicultural population: of the 2.7 million inhabitants, 78 percent are Chinese, a figure reflected in the predominance of shops, restaurants and temples across the island; fourteen percent are Malays; and seven percent are Indians (the remaining one percent is made up of other ethnic groups).
Each surrounding enclave has its own distinct flavour, ranging from the aromatic spice stores of Little India, to the tumbledown backstreets of Chinatown, where it’s still possible to happen upon calligraphers and fortune tellers, or the Arab Quarter, whose cluttered stores sell fine cloths and silks.

The Little Manila Foundation, a grass-roots group seeking to preserve three historic buildings in Stockton's Gleason Park area, is a viable competitor in the bid to win the entire project and should be able to meet the October proposal deadline, a former Oakland planning commissioner said Monday.

But a crosstown freeway cut through the neighborhood in the early 1970s, and the once-vibrant enclave is now just a shadow of what it once was.

 The New Era of Mexican Migration to the United States
With documents in hand, Mexicans were suddenly free to leave historical enclaves and established niches to search for better opportunities elsewhere; and, as legalized immigrants dispersed geographically, so did later waves of immigrants arriving to join them.
In reversing its historical opposition to dual nationality, the Mexican government sought to accomplish several goals.
The historical disinterest of Mexican authorities in the situation of migrant communities and in the specific problems of the immigrants themselves has spurred many current and former migrants to political action in Mexico, often within channels outside the official party.
