Imperial Zions: Religion, Race, and Family in the American West and the Pacific
-
Lincoln, Nebraska
-
University of Nebraska Press
-
"Imperial Zions explores the importance of the body in Latter-day Saint theology with the faith’s attempts to spread its gospel as a 'civilizing' force in the American West and the Pacific. By highlighting the intertwining of Latter-day Saint theology and American ideas about race, sexuality, and the nature of colonialism, Imperial Zions argues that Latter-day Saints created their understandings of polygamy at the same time they tried to change the domestic practices of Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples. Amanda Hendrix-Komoto tracks the work of missionaries as they moved through different imperial spaces to analyze the experiences of the American Indians and Native Hawaiians who became a part of white Latter-day Saint families. Imperial Zions is a foundational contribution that places Latter-day Saint discourses about race and peoplehood in the context of its ideas about sexuality, gender, and the family." [Amazon summary]
