Contingent Citizens features fourteen essays that track changes in
the ways Americans have perceived the Latter-day Saints since the
1830s. From presidential politics, to political violence, to the
definition of marriage, to the meaning of sexual equality-the
editors and contributors place Mormons in larger American histories
of territorial expansion, religious mission, Constitutional
interpretation, and state formation. These essays also show that
the political support of the Latter-day Saints has proven, at
critical junctures, valuable to other political groups. The
willingness of Americans to accept Latter-day Saints as full
participants in the United States political system has ranged over
time and been impelled by political expediency, granting Mormons in
the United States an ambiguous status, contingent on changing
political needs and perceptions. Contributors: Matthew C. Godfrey,
