Religion of a Different Color: Race and the Mormon Struggle for Whiteness

In This Study Of Mormonism And Its Relationship With Protestant White America In The Nineteenth Century, Historian W. Paul Reeve Examines The Way In Which Protestants Racialized Mormons By Using Physical Differences To Define Mormons As Non-white In Order To Justify The Expulsion Of Mormons From Ohio, Missouri, And Illinois, And, In General, To Deny Mormon Whiteness And Thereby Exclude The New Religious Group From Access To Political, Social, And Economic Power.--adapted From Publisher Description.
