In telling her life story, Jane James positioned herself near the center of the Latter-day Saint story, inserting herself into LDS myth-history. In this way, she carved out a space for herself in LDS history and practice despite the efforts of the church hierarchy to marginalize her because of her race. This essay focuses primarily on the autobiography in order to understand how and why James inserted herself into the center of the LDS story. [excerpt from chapter]
