Rural Local Cultures
Local cultures in rural areas often have an easier time maintaining their culture because of their isolation
Anabaptist groups - Hutterites, the Amish, and the Mennonites.
During the Protestant Reformation, Anabaptists broke Catholic Church and the new Protestant churches.
Anabaptists migrated east to Moravia and Austria, and then to Russia and the Ukraine.
More than 425 colonies of Hutterites are located in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Montana, and Alberta.

Rurality enables local cultures to define their own space, to create a place, town, or rural landscape that reflects their values.
Today, tribes must navigate through varying opinions among its members, limitations imposed by governments, and perceptions of other cultures.

James Shortridge refers to townspeople, Swedish or not, dressing up to celebrate Sweden as neolocalism
Neolocalism - seeking out the regional culture and reinvigorating it in response to the uncertainty of the modern world.
Makah - Goal is to think in their own language, embrace their history, and come to know who they are, despite others trying to cover their identity.
Lindsborg - seek to celebrate Swedish immigrants who made the place unique and connect with others around them
The Hutterites - The goal is to maintain what they have, to adopt only those technologies that help their farming, and to ban those who challenge their beliefs.

Urban Local Cultures
Ethnic neighborhoods - Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn, New York, and Italian Americans in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, maintain their distinct local cultures in urban environments
-
Having their own ethnic neighborhoods allows local members of cultures in urban areas to set themselves apart and practice their customs
Biggest challenge to local cultures in cities is the migration of members of the popular culture into their neighborhoods

Hearth
Hearth begins with contagious diffusion: developers of an idea or innovation may find they have followers who dress as they do or listen to the music they play
Reterritorialization - a process in which people start to produce an aspect of popular culture themselves
The rapid diffusion of popular culture can cause consumers to lose track of the hearth of a good or idea.
Placelessness - Describing the loss of uniqueness of place in the cultural landscape to the point one place looks like the next
Global-local continuum - emphasizes what happens at one scale is not independent of what happens at other scales
