In this unique study, Ethan R. Yorgason examines the Mormon
"culture region" of the American West, which in the late nineteenth
century was characterized by sexual immorality, communalism, and
anti-Americanism but is now marked by social conservatism.
Foregrounding the concept of region, Yorgason traces the
conformist-conservative trajectory that arose from intense moral
and ideological clashes between Mormons and non-Mormons from 1880
to 1920. Looking through the lenses of regional geography, history,
and cultural studies, Yorgason investigates shifting moral orders
relating to gender authority, economic responsibility, and national
loyalty, community, and home life. Transformation of the Mormon
Culture Region charts how Mormons and non-Mormons resolved their
cultural contradictions over time by a progressive narrowing of the
range of moral positions on gender (in favor of Victorian gender
relations), the economy (in favor of individual economics), and the
nation (identifying with national power and might). Mormons and
non-Mormons together constructed a regime of effective coexistence
while retaining regional distinctiveness.
