For my cities and culture module I wrote an essay on the communities formed by the idea that Jericho is separate from Oxford and possibly an unintentional enclave.
Jericho has the appearance of separation from the rest of Oxford. An enclave. It seems quieter and more remote as people don’t regularly pass through it. I explored this feeling of detachment and examined whether it creates stronger communities within or whether it makes the residents feel isolated. Residents have said that people in Jericho don’t want to leave. Are they happy or do they feel segregated? Perhaps they prefer/enjoy the secluded nature of the area. Maybe the tight, inclusive community is the key factor.- Ella
