What does this French sentence mean?

What does the word "enclaves" mean in this sentence? What does it mean?? PLEASE EXPLAIN!?

  • I am confused with what the word "enclaves" mean in this sentence. I did look it up but the defnition I got online (from several dictionary sites) doesn't seem to make sense with the sentence. Can someone please not only define what the word means in this particular sentence AND Explain what it means?? What does this sentence Below mean?? "According to Alder and Alder's research, peer groups are enclaves for children that both socialize them into gender roles and resist parent and school socialization." THANKS alot! Oh and I know it like a simple question so sorry to ask such a basic question, I'm just confused about this part for my reading assignment. just the basic meaning is what I really need though.

From looking at the online definitions, it would seem that it is a group within a group...therefore peer groups are smaller groups within the larger groups of, say,a school population.

Enclaves in this term is similar to "lair".
