Contingent Citizens: Shifting Perceptions of Latter-day Saints in American Political Culture
-
Ithaca, NY
-
Cornell University Press
-
"In this book, we explore the different ways politicians, lawmakers, and the general public perceived the place of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members in American political culture throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries... After an introduction exploring the ways in which the Latter-day Saint experience was exceptional and the ways that it was typical in the history of the United States, Part I explores the concepts of authority and mobilization, as evidenced in the use of political rhetoric that appealed to the fear of tyranny, the mobilization of voters in support of Joseph Smith's presidential candidacy, and the organizing of Mormon women in opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment. Part II employs the concepts of power and sovereignty to understand Mormons' participation in frontier violence, their exercise of martial law, the threat to seize part of the continent in the mid-nineteenth century, and the practice of blending political and economic power in the early twentieth century. Part III probes the ways that Mormons engaged conversations about unity and nationalism by serving as a substitute for discussions of slavery in antebellum America, identity and allegiance in the nineteenth century, mainstream Americanism during the Cold War, and political realignments during the late twentieth-century culture wars."
