Between 2 Nations

From the 1st Chapter of our Reading of Between 2 Nations by Michael Jones Correa we read about the differences of ethnic backgrounds of not only Latinos in NY but the difference with Latinos and Whites in NY. in Chapter 1 page 32 talks about how communities of minorities and whites overlap each other but yet never really cross each other. from 1st generation of immigrants, they rather make up their own community of or group rather than join a community or group that is already established in the neighborhood or near by neighborhoods. This i believe creates a different and separation understanding of each group individually. its like joining different organizations when arriving to a new place for example a school. if you dont like or feel unconfortable with other orgs. you will probably make your own org, same with these immigrants and communities. "neighborhoods are more likely to contain multiple communities than to constitute a community itself", (Correa pg 32).
