First, it presents a rich composite view of nineteenth-century Mormon life in the West as seen by qualified observers who did not just pass through but stopped and studied. Second, it connects that early protoethnography to scholarly Mormon village studies in the twentieth century, showing their proper context in the thriving field of community studies. Based mostly on nine famous travelers' accounts of life among the Mormons, including Richard Burton, Elizabeth Kane, Howard Stansbury, John Gunnison, and Julius Benchley--Bahr's volume introduces these talented observers, summarizes and analyzes their observation, and constructs a holistic overview of Mormon village life. He concludes by tracing the rise and continuity of Mormon village studies in the twentieth century, beginning with Lowry Nelson's 1923 research in Escalante, Utah. Over the following three decades, the genre expanded beyond Nelson and his students, becoming more sophisticated and interdisciplinary; by the mid-1950s it was a subfield within the respected arena of community studies. Researchers continued to study Mormon communities in the following decades and into the twenty-first century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Abbreviations -- Ethnographers by Any Other Name : Visitors to Mormon Villages, 1849-1860 -- "What I Heard and Felt and Saw" : Reflections on Method -- Village Culture I: Structure, Ambience, and Diversity -- Village Culture II: Work, Faith, Education, and the Arts -- Second Generation Village Studies -- Twentieth Century Village Studies. 650 0 $a Mormons $z Southwest, New $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Mormons $z Utah $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Villages $z Southwest, New $x History. 650 0 $a Villages $z Utah $x History. 650 0 $a Community life $z Southwest, New $x History. 650 0 $a Community life $z Utah $x History. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Southwest, New $x History. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Utah $x History. 651 0 $a Southwest, New $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Utah $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Folklore & Mythology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION / Christianity / Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY). $2 bisacsh 730 0 $a Four classic Mormon village studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020014236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EE980E4066511E4B09646AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
