Enclave Against Ghetto; Segregation
Captions available
The idea
An enclave is self-enforced separation for a racial or ethnic group; a ghetto is an area of externally forced, legally defined separation. Segregation is spatial or social separation by race or ethnicity. Jim Crow laws enforced segregation and disenfranchisement in the South.
In practice
First effective settlement sets the template.
Where people slip
Acculturation reconciles culture groups; xenophobia fears the different.
