The aim of the analysis is to compare the local social differentiation in two culturally heterogeneous communities: 1) two-denominational and 2) two-denominational and two-national. The study focused on local mechanisms of the maintenance of differentiation. Comparative approach allowed capture of contextual conditions. The study included the areas of life where the intersection of the private and public spheres occurs. It was found that local mechanisms maintaining the differentiation lead to the phenomenon of bestowing public significance to private choices or even to sanctioning them by the public opinion. For this reason, the analysis focuses on the following areas of local social life: the genesis of local divisions and its social memory, marriage selection, political power and schools. Among the conclusions it should be noted that the depth of social division is not determined by the multiplication of differences but rather by the origin of divisions and social memory. There is larger toleration of the »mixed« identity (of the nuclear family or even of individuals) in the community of two-dimensional social diversity but with the shared experience of uprooting (among minority and majority). The research has confirmed better political minority self-organization, which can then affect political mobilisation of the majority. Finally, a way of institutionalization of differentiation in local schools (different ways of segregation) plays a significant role in the socialization to the local dualism.
