Recenzje

Central to understanding the history of the Mormon movement is the notion of Zion as a multi-faceted ideal. That ideal powerfully reminds LDS believers of particular elements of the American West, and is employed by the LDS Church as a mode of remembrance and collective celebration. Patterson's deft analysis highlights how the melding of time, space, and memory furthers institutional ends and situates church members, regardless of physical location, in a uniquely American story.
