Though this was frustrating and disheartening to read at times because of the subject being treated, I applaud the presentation of historical documents in a complete and fair manner. The flow of the chapters was easy to follow in order to understand the racialization of Mormons as a people as they turned around and racialized others in order to be fully accepted as white Americans. I'll be referencing this book and the references used within for years to come.

from not white enough to too white, the LDS church and its members have always had an interesting, fraught, and complicated relationship with race. if you’re engaged or interested in a study on racism, especially on a local level (local if you’re LDS and/or associated with Utah) then i would certainly recommend this book and Reeve’s highly researched thesis.
