before I saw the outburst of Australia on the list!

Just a wee brag to tell you also that my book on 'Foveaux' has been

Paddy,

A bit more information to add to the recent messages re. sources for
the Irish in Australia.

I'm in the middle of a project compiling a database of Irish and
Irish-Australian sources in Australian libraries and archives. I'm
aiming to list primary sources in some detail and also to indicate
the strengths of secondary holdings. Obviously, this is a large task.
I started last year and don't see completion until sometime next year.

But eventually I hope to put a fairly substantial amount of
information on a web site for those interested in researching Ireland
in Australia and the Irish in Australia. I'll of course notify you of
the details when publication is imminent.

From Civil War History

Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers: A History of the 6th Louisiana Volunteers,
1861-1865.(Review) / (book reviews)
Review by: David M. Stokes
Issue: Sept, 1999


Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers: A History of the 6th Louisiana Volunteers,
1861-1865. By James P Gannon. (Campbell, Calif.: Savas Publishing, 1998. Pp.
xvi, 453. $32.95.)

The author, a journalist and former editor for the Wall Street Journal,
spent years combing libraries, archives, and research institutions to gather
material for a history of the 6th Louisiana Volunteers. Based on numerous
primary resources, including muster rolls, letters, and diaries, as well as
newspaper accounts, Gannon presents a thorough history of these Louisiana
Tigers, from the "bottom up." In addition to the battles fought by these
Southern Sons of Erin, the author analyzes the ethnic make-up of this
regiment, its heritage and belief systems, and just who these men were and
where they were from.

Compared to the estimated 15,000 Irish who donned the Union blue, the South
yielded only 30,000 Irish-born immigrants who fought with the Confederacy.
[NOTE: THERE ARE CLEARLY TRANSCRIPTION ERRORS IN THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE.]
While by no means the only Irish unit to fight for the South, "No state
produced as many Irish Confederates as Louisiana, and no city as many as New
Orleans" (iii). After seceding on January 26, 1861, the war effort in the
Crescent City accelerated with the news of the firing on Fort Sumter. A call
to arms posted in the Daily Picayune, aimed at Irish immigrants, yielded
thousands of eager volunteers. Enlistees in the 6th Louisiana were primarily
common laborers with little if any formal education. It is not surprising
then, given their education and background, that the men of this unit hardly
left a written record of their experiences; especially when those most able
to tell the story of the regiment (Colonels. Isaac Seymour, Henry Strong,
and William Monaghan) perished leading their troops into battle. The
author's research amply rectifies this discrepancy in Civil War literature
by publishing the first history of this unique regiment.

Gannon guides the reader from the unit's inception and training at Camp
Moore, Louisiana, through its string of victories and defeats in the Eastern
theatre of the war. The 6th's battle honors include Jackson's Valley
Campaign, the Seven Days' battles, 2nd Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, and the costly assault against the Union line entrenched
on Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg. The "Bloody 6th" continued its service at
Rappahannock Station, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse, and the
Valley Campaign of 1864: Monocacy, the gates of Washington, D.C., 3rd
Winchester, and Fisher's Hill. Following the triumph and tragedy of Cedar
Creek, these Irish Confederates completed their service in the trenches
during the long siege of Petersburg. From a regiment whose ranks once
swelled to over twelve hundred men, the 6th Louisiana surrendered a mere
four officers and forty-eight men at Appomattox.

Gannon's work is well illustrated, with twelve maps and twenty photographs
of the regiment's officers and men. One great strength of the book is the
exhaustive roster the author compiled during his research. Certain to be
coveted by genealogists, this includes detailed biographical information on
the field and staff officers and is followed with a company by company
roster of the officers and men who comprised the unit. Useful appendixes
also include birthplaces by company; a statistical summary of casualties,
deaths, desertions, and discharges; and a complete list of the units
engagements and losses. The author's research is likewise evident in the
lengthy endnotes, bibliography, and index that accompany the text.

Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers will serve to complement Terry Jones's
excellent study, Lee's Tigers: The Louisiana Infantry of the Army of
Northern Virginia (1987) and is sure to set a standard in scholarship for
regimental histories to come.

Thanks to all for your help in this. No, nothing was familiar to me and

one of his titles [The Irish in Australia] from a bookshop in Sydney -
what a great world of cyber space we live in. Except for the odd

at his background. Any further comments/discussion on O'Farrell would be
appreciated.
I should add that the loss of the Irish Empire here is the US is a great
shame and is probably typical, unfortunately, of the myopic tendency of
the society here to reject information that does not directly pertain to
its own experience.
So, thanks again all!

A Chairde:

I am afraid we may only see The Irish Empire here in The US Empire when
American Public TV's Empire puts on its 14,788th showing of Riverdance to
raise money to import more reruns from The British Television Empire. I
don't
know if people outside of the US are aware that between 30-60% (depending on
local outlet) of American Public Television's prime time schedule is made up
solely of gerontologically-challenged British TV productions.

Oh well, beats hiring expensive unionized Yank directors, actors, and
writers, or talent to produce new material. That might cut into Public TV's
infamous job-for-life sinecures and generous employment packages for
bureaucrats who haven't had an original idea since they "twigged" that they
could perpetually broadcast 20 year old reruns of "Are You Being Served?"
and
funnel the huge production cost savings into cushy pay packages and
Ottomanesque feudal perquisites.

But then, as the formidable and glamorous NY Irish mob moll extraordinaire,
Texas Guinan, would shout every night from the stage of her 1920s Broadway
speakeasy:
"Hello suckers !"

Just some quick advice to Carmel. Make sure you get the latest, 3rd
edition of O'Farrell, which was published last month. I have it on
order with the university bookshop here in Melbourne, but haven't
received a copy yet. Be careful you're not sent the 2nd edition which
was published in Sydney in 1993.

Also, I was taught as an undergraduate by O'Farrell and can testify
that he is a very stimulating and demanding teacher - it was he who
convinced me to become an Irish historian, when at the time I was
inclined to Chinese history! - as well as a wide-ranging and
provocative historian. His grand theories about the influence of the
Irish on Australian identity are not unchallenged, but do remain
dominant here.

I'd also recommend, if you want human interest, his book 'Vanished
Kingdoms', Sydney, 1990, in which he talks about the Irish in
Australia and New Zealand, drawing upon his own family history in
both countries - an excellent example of scholarship combined with
personal and family experience. In addition, he simply writes
brilliantly and is a joy to read.

I don't have any textual information I'm afraid, but I think this is a

importance. When I was interviewing old I.R.A. men in Cork in the late
80s/early 90s, one of the questions I asked them all was what they'd read
that might have influenced them. Not any Gaelic revival or Sinn Fein
material, interestingly, but most definitely Speeches from the Dock (a lot
of which they knew off by heart) and Mitchel's Jail Journal. Of course
these would have been read by lots of non-I.R.A. members as well, but
their power and ubiquity was unquestionable.

Subject: RE: Ir-D Speeches from the Dock 2


John Savage?s 1868 Fenian Heroes and Martyrs is another source for speeches
from the dock. Published in Boston by Patrick Donohue it was based on
newspaper reports.

My own favourite is from the trial of an editor i have
been researching, Martin A O'Brennan of the Connaught Patriot. His lawyer
kept on trying to shut him up but he would have none of it. He was not a man
of action but an intellectual- a historian and gaelic linguist-and does not
appear to know for sure how many children he had...

A short extract follows:
"but I must protest, when I find the Crown acting with so much virulence as
to take me from my large family of nine or ten, and stick me up into no
better than a water closet last night, and keep me from three o?clock
yesterday morning, without any refreshment. It would well become the Crown
to say?how is this man treated; or why should such an aggression be made
upon the right of the subject as has be made upon me. If it occurred
elsewhere the Attorney General or Crown Solicitor would be the first to
denounce it as barbarous and savage, and a portion of the tyranny that has
been carried out in other countries; but here when it is exercised upon a
subject of her Majesty, there is not one word at all against it."

The Global Review of Ethnopolitics is a new authoritative peer-reviewed
online journal that will establish a forum for serious debate and exchange
on one of the phenomena that that had a decisive impact during the last
decades of the 20th century and will continue to be of great importance in
the new millennium.

The journal will give a voice to established as well as younger researchers
and analysts from academic as well as practitioner backgrounds. We will
publish original work of the highest quality in the field of ethnopolitics
with methodological approaches covering mainly the disciplines of political
science and international relations and taking primarily a contemporary,
current affairs perspective. We will maintain a fair balance between
theoretical analyses of these matters and case studies both of comparative
as well as singular nature, covering all geographic
areas.

The major focus will be on the analysis, management, settlement, and
prevention of ethnic conflicts, on minority rights, group identity, the
intersection of identity group formations and politics, on minority and
majority nationalisms in the context of democratisation, and on the
security and stability of states and regions as they are affected by any of
the above issues. Particular attention will also be devoted to the growing
importance of international influences on ethnopolitics. Such influences
include external diplomatic or military intervention, as well as the
increasing impact of globalisation on ethnic identities and their political
expressions.

SUBSCRIPTION is free of charge.
The journal will be published four times a year in March, June, September,
and December.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Within the scope of journal identified above, we invite the submission of
original papers (6,000-8,000 words), research notes (2,000-4,000 words),
review essays (3,000-4,000 words) and book reviews (800-1,000 words). A
detailed style guide can be found at our website.

All submissions should be emailed as attachment to S.Wolff[at]bath.ac.uk AND

IN THIS ISSUE: ETHNIC STEREOTYPES: THEN AND NOW

1. EVALUATING ETHNIC IMAGES IN THE MEDIA
2. HISTORY OF STEREOTYPES
3. CONTEMPORARY ETHNIC STEREOTYPES BY GROUP

**********

Ethnic stereotypes have been a focus of Balch Institute research, exhibition
and programming since the beginning of the Institute in the 1970s. In the
past the Balch explored ethnic stereotyping in a variety of contexts:
advertising, comics, and toys and games. The advent of new media, such as
the internet, offers new avenues for the perpetuation of old images as well
as for the discussion and critique of these images. In this issue, we offer
a sampling of ongoing web discussions about media images and ethnic
stereotypes.

Subject: Re: Ir-D Advice: Irish in Australia 7

Carmel,
There's nothing wrong with the 2nd edition! I thought though that, as
the 3rd has just come out, it would be better to get that. I've not
seen the book myself - by the way it's published this time by Cork
University Press - so I can't tell you exactly what the differences
are. From the catalogue description, however, it sounds as though he
has updated the book, rather than re-writing it substantially. So
more research, I presume, not a different perspective. However, as
quite a bit of new work has come out over the last 7 or 8 years, it's
probably as well to get the latest edition if you can.

Members of the Irish Diaspora list will be interested in this new book by
Timothy Meagher. As yet it is only published in the
US, but hopefully in time an Irish or UK publisher will produce
an edition. The book is a superb study and I asked the
publishers for some details so that I could pass on the
information to anyone who is interested.

Inventing Irish America

Generation, Class, and Ethnic Identity in a New England City, 1880?1928

Like many American cities, Worcester, Massachusetts, is an enclave of
cultural tradition and ethnic pride. Through the intensive analysis of this
Irish American community at the turn of the twentieth century, Timothy
Meagher reveals how an ethnic group can endure and yet change when its first
American-born generation takes control of its destiny.

Meagher traces the chaotic and complicated passage of Irish Americans from
their status as isolated immigrants, through accommodation in the 1880s and
ethnocentric belligerence in the 1890s, to leadership of a pan-ethnic
American Catholic people in the early twentieth century. He shows how these
shifts resulted from both the initiatives of a new generation and changing
relations with Yankee and ethnic neighbors, examining along the way such
topics as women's prominence in the local nationalist movement, marriage
patterns among the second generation, and cross-party coalitions that Irish
Democrats forged with Yankee Republicans.

A fourth-generation Worcester native, Meagher examines nearly every aspect
of Irish American life in his city to discover how his family and others
like them attempted to resolve the dilemma of identity. He analyzes the
changing definitions of identities and boundaries over a crucial forty-year
period and shows how the rise of a new generation to community leadership
brought about a quiet but powerful revolution in people's everyday lives.

Inventing Irish America focuses on the cultural transition of Irish
Americans from one generation to the next and offers readers new insight
into the creation of their identity. By studying one community in
generational transition, it sheds new light on all places where ethnic and
racial groups struggle to maintain their identities by reinventing
themselves through time.

Timothy J. Meagher is Director of the Center for Irish Studies at Catholic
University. He is co-editor, with Ronald Bayor, of The New York Irish,
winner of the James Donnelly Sr. Prize from the American Conference for
Irish Studies.
