Ethan R. Yorgason

This book covers notions of LDS thought on a variety of topics often misunderstood at face value, in the light of their evolution over time. Mormon feminism in the 19th Century? Yorgason presents a case for it here that is convincing, despite polygamy. Similarly with communitarian notions, mormons had a cooperative communistic venture that lasted 40 years and attracted the attention of Engles.

Anyway, this is a GREAT book on the anthropology of mormonism.

Note: This book was "borrowed" by someone at my school who then turned around and claimed that the copy she had was her own, not mine. That's what I get for not putting my seal in my books!… (más)
