Historian Paul Reeve shows how many Americans argued that Mormons themselves failed to satisfy the demands of whiteness. Reeve traces Mormon upward mobility through their achievement of whiteness from their being framed as not white enough in the late nineteenth century to too white during the 2012 presidential campaign. An analysis of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century cultural discourse reveals that Mormon racial identity cannot be taken for granted, but rather is something to be interrogated, critically analyzed and theorized. Not only does Reeve use whiteness theory to complicate Mormon studies, but he also demonstrates how religion complicates the extant whiteness literature, which has typically focused on categories of labor, immigration, and class.
