A Foreign Kingdom
Author: Christine TalbotPublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252095359
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The years from 1852 to 1890 marked a controversial period in Mormonism, when the church's official embrace of polygamy put it at odds with wider American culture. In this study, Christine Talbot explores the controversial era, discussing how plural marriage generated decades of cultural and political conflict over competing definitions of legitimate marriage, family structure, and American identity. In particular, Talbot examines "the Mormon question" with attention to how it constructed ideas about American citizenship around the presumed separation of the public and private spheres. Contrary to the prevailing notion of man as political actor, woman as domestic keeper, and religious conscience as entirely private, Mormons enfranchised women and framed religious practice as a political act. The way Mormonism undermined the public/private divide led white, middle-class Americans to respond by attacking not just Mormon sexual and marital norms but also Mormons' very fitness as American citizens. Poised at the intersection of the history of the American West, Mormonism, and nineteenth-century culture and politics, this carefully researched exploration considers the ways in which Mormons and anti-Mormons both questioned and constructed ideas of the national body politic, citizenship, gender, the family, and American culture at large.

Sex and the Citizen

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Sex and the Citizen is a powerful and urgent exploration of one of the most overlooked forces shaping the political landscape today: the rapid decline of marriage. Once the cornerstone of American life, marriage has seen a dramatic fall from grace. In 1960, four out of five households were led by married couples; today, that number has plummeted to less than half, with more people choosing cohabitation over commitment. The American family, as we once knew it, is unraveling. Author Conn Carroll takes you on a thrilling journey spanning thousands of years and six continents, uncovering the pivotal role marriage has played in human history. From the dawn of civilization to the present day, Sex and the Citizen reveals that marriage is more than just a contract—it’s the bedrock of democracy itself. Through gripping historical analysis, Carroll shows how the rise and fall of monogamous marriage has shaped societies and how its decline is now threatening our most cherished ideals. But this book isn’t just about diagnosing a problem—it’s about finding solutions. Sex and the Citizen offers a bold vision for restoring the stability and prosperity that marriage once provided. By learning from history, we can rebuild a society where love and commitment are the keys to human flourishing. Sex and the Citizen is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of civilization.
