Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A pathbreaking, probing book that raises deep questions about the intertwining of religion and racism, not only in the history of U.S. Mormonism, but also in the long-term development of U.S. society."

Reseña del editor:

The year 2003 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the lifting of the ban excluding black members from the priesthood of the Mormon church. The articles collected in Newell G. Bringhurst and Darron T. Smith's Black and Mormon look at the mechanisms used to keep blacks from full participation, the motives behind the ban, and the kind of changes that have--and have not--taken place within the church since the revelation responsible for its end. This challenging collection is required reading for anyone concerned with the history of racism, discrimination, and the Latter-day Saints.
