Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper attempts to answer two key questions regarding regional and ethnic consciousness: (1) How strong is the ethnic identity among members of Irish organizations in Savannah, Georgia? and (2) How important is their identity as a southerner? The importance of ethnic organizations and particularly the importance of family as transmitters of ethnicity were most significantly related to the strength of ethnic identity. Slightly less than one-third of those who identified themselves as southerners, indicated that their identity as a southerner was much more important than their other identities including their ethnic identity. Ethnic identity for most of the respondents is more important than their regional identity, although for them southerner and Irish are not mutually exclusive identities. The history of the Irish in Savannah demonstrates how ethnicity for whites is highly localized and tied to place.
