Questions on the Reading 3/5/14

1. In the African “Soul brothers” reading it was mentioned that even though cultural differences existed between blacks living in “black harlem” and the West African Muslims the African muslims settled in this community because of racially similarities. How does preexisting stereotypes affect what neighborhoods emerge and which groups tend to locate in same area. Also, in One of three People’s two chapter reading it mentioned how enclaves were established with certain ethnic groups. How do enclaves societies disperse and move into integrated communities despite racial tensions and cultural differences. Like Queens for example, how and why do integrated communities emerge?

2. With white collard jobs emerging in the city and less manual labor jobs available what will happen to the influx of immigrants with few literacy skills who once worked the manual jobs? Will this affect immigration patterns in the future?
