"Mormons in Mexico is divided into two parts: a description and analysis of the historical foundations of the religion's expansion in Mexico (emphasizing the period 1874-1946) and an analysis of the contemporary experience (concentrating on the two decades of 1965-85). The book is not presented as a comprehensive history but rather as an interpretive analysis of the Mormon church's historical foundations and contemporary condition in Mexico. Aside from presenting intrinsically interesting historical information, the first section explores why the mormons sent missionaries to Mexico and founded settlements there, how the church developed indigenously led institutions in response to political and social turmoil in the county, why ethnic conflicts between American and Mexican members arose, and, more remarkably how they were resolved. After this establishment of the historical foundations, the second section presents an analysis of contemporary Mormonism on five socioeconomic dimensions: social changes among the Mexican Mormons, their educational endeavors, the effect of continuing nationalism both in the United States and Mexico, patterns of rapid membership growth, and Mormons' firming up of their church institutionally.
