This volume seeks nothing less than to shift the focus of Mormon studies from its historic North American, Euro-American "center" to the critical questions being raised by Mormons living at the movement's cultural and geographic margins. As a social institution, Mormonism is shaped around cultural notions, systems, and ideas that have currency in the United States but make less sense beyond the land of its genesis. Even as an avowedly international religion some 183 years out from its inception, it makes few allowances for diverse international contexts, with Salt Lake City prescribing programs, policies, curricula, leadership, and edicts for the church's international regions. While Mormonism's greatest strength is its organizational coherence, there is also a cost paid, for those at the church's peripheries. Decolonizing Mormonism brings together the work of 15 scholars from around the globe who critically reflect on global Mormon experiences and American-Mormon cultural imperialism. Indigenous, minority, and Global South Mormons ask in unison: what is the relationship between Mormonism and imperialism and where must the Mormon movement go in order to achieve its long-cherished dream of equality for all in Zion?
