One in Faith, One in Color, One in Language”: The Deseret Alphabet and Early Latter-day Saint Theologies of Racial Restoration
This article places the Deseret alphabet—the Latter-day Saints’ mid-nineteenth-century attempt at orthographic reform—in a broader field of inquiry that explores the role that religious scriptures played in the formation of racial and national identities in the Anglo-American world. Such analysis of the Deseret alphabet also sheds new light onto Anglo-American Christians’ deployment of scriptures to shape Natives and European immigrants into resp…
Benjamin E. Park. American Zion: A New History of Mormonism
The Feeling of Forgetting: Christianity, Race, and Violence in America
Charles Ellis Johnson and the Erotic Mormon Image
I thought I knew the big names in early Mormon photography. There is Charles Roscoe Savage, most famous for photographing the completion of the transcontinental railroad. There is Edward Martin, le
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Race in American History
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Race in American History is a monumental achievement. Edited by Kathryn Gin Lum, a leading light in the subfield of race and religion, and Paul Harvey, the subfield's elder statesman, the work is much more than a “handbook” (in part because its 640 pages would fit into the hands of only the most dexterous basketball player). Together, its thirty-four essays—authored by well-known scholars and rising stars (twen…
The "Negro Problem," the "Mormon Problem," and the Pursuit of "Usefulness" in the White American Republic
By examining Booker T. Washington's (little studied) relationship with Mormon elites, this article introduces the category of "usefulness" to scholars who investigate how racially and religiously marginalized Americans have sought acceptance in the "white American republic." Washington's 1913 visit to Utah was the high point in a decade-long public campaign of mutual admiration. Washington and the Mormons' high regard for each other-an aberration…

Making Lamanites: Mormons, Native Americans, and the Indian Student Placement Program, 1947-2000
Matthew Garrett's Making Lamanites is the most complete study of the fraught relationship between Mormons and Native Americans during the twentieth century. It also contributes to postcolonial scholarship that locates colonial subjects in the fields of their own imaginations—and not just those of the colonizers who exploited and/or transformed their labor, bodies, and souls. Garrett focuses on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Indi…
Playing Jane
By reenacting the “[auto]biography” of the celebrated nineteenth- century black Mormon woman Jane Manning James, twenty-first-century black Mormons hope to explain to their audiences and to themselves why they joined or choose to stay in a religious community that, for much of its history, excluded people of African descent from full church membership. With respect to this history of exclusion, I interpret the performance of reenacting James's au…
