Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper is an endeavor to conceptualize ethnic identity as an important arena for the construction of whiteness and collective identity among American practitioners of Germanic Heathenry. It explores how member�s whiteness lends to an ethnicity that is negated by its invisibility to �color blind� American society. In addition, it explores how members respond by the co-construction of their own �ethnic folkway,� which is not without its quandaries, disagreements, and complexities. Analysis into Heathenry demonstrates how people can construct and render meaningful a holistic, though largely imagined ethnicity, without the utility of direct experience with the foundation on which their identity is based. I divide the discussion into how Heathens collectively construct, maintain, and negotiate group boundaries, culture and identity. In addition, I respond to previous illustrations of Heathenry as a platform for racism and White Supremacy. Because the issues of ethnicity, race, and racism are inseparable, this paper will address all three, highlighting the intricacy of invented/constructed white ethnicities unexamined in previous empirical representations of Heathenry.
