  Ethnic enclave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To city residents who are not part of the community, the area is usually a dining and shopping destination and source of "authentic" ethnic food and groceries, such as Chinese cuisine in Chinatowns and Italian restaurants in Little Italys.
Enclaves are also sources of ethnic language media and these often provide a different scope of coverage than with mainstream news sources (that might otherwise give scant or no coverage to certain events), such as Chinese-language newspapers (for example, the World Journal) and Yiddish-language newspapers.
Jewish enclaves may be enclosed in an eruv while Muslim enclaves may have loudspeakers to announce the calls to prayer.

 The Demonic Cabal
The purpose of this essay is to help American and world citizens see who and what is controlling events from behind the scenes, to assist in making clear just what kind of demonic forces are bringing about the destruction of American and world values and institutions.
At present, Americans are faced with an illegal junta which is repeating a vile era in American history: the seizure of all governmental powers by a single party-cabal during John Adams' presidency from 1797-1801.
This is similar to the experience during the time of the American revolution when a beneficent aristocracy--as well as enlightened members of the general populace--brought about a new nation dedicated to the idea of government for the benefit of all citizens.

The second-largest Chinatown in North America is in San Francisco, California, where signs, storefronts, proprietors, and even lamp posts bring the culture of China to the United States.
Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of any land to Chinese or restricted the land sales to a limited geographical area and which promoted the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
In the past, overcrowded Chinatowns in urban areas were shunned by the general non-Chinese public as ethnic ghettoes, and therefore seen as places of vice and cultural insularism where "unassimilable foreigners" congregated.

For example, in studying the roles played by ethnic institutions within the Philadelphia community, it is natural to examine how local and national policies have influenced the areas around which ethnic communities organize.
Cultural performance and expression are utilized to promote in-group solidarity and out-group hostility in virtually all ethnic conflicts; similarly, new cultural expressions often develop as a conflict evolves and mark new phases in a dispute including the movement towards settlement.
For some scholars, the focus will be primarily on exploring the central role of culture in group relations, others have a particular interest in the social organization of cultural performance while for another group their main concerns are with the content and form of cultural expression itself.

Hofstadter's American Political Tradition antagonized devoted leftist scholars who saw genuine radicalism in the American populist tradition; it annoyed presidential scholars who thought Hofstadter had handled their idols a bit roughly; it infuriated professional insiders who wrung their hands over Hofstadter's refusal to take them seriously enough ("superficial", they wrote; also, "supercilious"(63)).
