New York Times on Chicago's heavily Pakistani Devon Avenue

A feature story, "Pakistanis Find U.S. an Easier Fit Than Britain" , with interviews of Americans of Pakistani heritage and contrasts with British cities' Asian enclaves: "immigrants are not mired in the Devon Avenue neighborhood; many move out once they can afford better. Unlike the situation in Britain, there is no collective history here of frustrated efforts to assimilate into a society where a shortened form of Pakistani is a stinging slur, and there are no centuries-old grievances nursed from British colonial rule over what became Pakistan. Where such comparisons fail, however, is in providing a model to predict why some young Muslims turn to violence, although no religion is immune."
