How did migrants preserve and transplant their culture in their new homes?

They often migrated with mass numbers of others from their home countries. These fellow migrants would, in a way, stick together to keep their old country's values, religion, and culture alive through them in their new homes. Migrants also formed enclaves, which are  concentrations of a certain type of people, to preserve and transplant their culture in their new homes. A modern day example of this can be Chinatown in New York City in New York of the United States. Diasporas, or clusters of people who shared an ethnic identity, across the world occurred, most notably those of the Jews from and to the Middle East and across Eurasia. These diasporas were formed when people migrated alongside members of their extended families and others from their same region and settled in an area close to one another.
