Before reading the course materials regarding ethnic space, I initially tried to envision possible descriptions for an ethnic space, incorporating class discussions and themes into my thought processes. As a result, I thought that perhaps the definition looks a lot like an area with a single main ethnic group or, conversely, an area full of many different ethnic groups. Subsequently I read the essays regarding ethnic space, in order to deduce the meaning of an ethnic space. In particular, Robert J. Rodino's essay provided notable insights on the topic of ethnic enclaves. According to Rodino, an ethnic enclave occurs when a particular ethnic group of people lives among the dominant ethnic group (Rodino 94). Even though this definition has a political connotation, it still provided some insight into my understanding. However, when Rodino used the term “ethnic community,” in the context of an ethnic enclave, I recognized the relationship between the two (Rodino 100). That said, an ethnic community, or space, is a component of an ethnic enclave. The idea of ​​an ethnic community resonated with me to adequately express an ethnic space. Therefore, I decided to incorporate it into my interpretation of an ethnic space, along with my personal experiences. All in all, an ethnic space is when a city displays a prominent cultural environment, due to the prevalent ethnic group within that area. Likewise, due to my contrasting cultural experiences, Rowland Heights displays this important cultural environment, due to the city's prevalent ethnic group. Overall, these factors contribute to how Rowland Heights adequately exemplifies this classification of an ethnic group
