Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Mauss' book analyzes the last 40 years of Mormon history from a sociological perspective, calling on a wide array of sources in sociology and history to show that Mormons, who had come a long way from their position as "outsiders" in a society dominated by the traditional religions, seem to be adopting more conservative ways and seeking a return to a more sectarian posture.
