The provision and management of social housing for those who are
unable to access the housing market is essential to the maintenance
of the fabric of society. The social housing industry is vast and
still growing. There are very few countries in the world where some
form of subsidised housing does not exist, and the total number of
social homes is likely to grow worldwide, as are the challenges of
the sector. Paul Reeves takes a people-centred approach to the
subject, describing the themes that have run through provision of
social housing from the first philanthropic industrialists in the
19th Century though to the increasingly complex mixture of
ownerships and tenures in the present day. The management of
housing forms a key part of the book, with an emphasis on the
practical aspects of tenant participation and multi-agency working.
The book is ideal for students of housing and social policy, and
for housing professionals aiming to obtain qualifications and
wanting a broad understanding of the social housing sector.
Affordable and Social Housing - Policy and Practice is a candid and
critical appraisal of current big-ticket issues affecting the
planning, development and management of affordable and social
housing in the United Kingdom. The successor to the second edition
of the established textbook An Introduction to Social Housing, the
book includes new chapters, reflecting the focal importance of
customer involvement and empowerment, regeneration and the Localism
agenda which will have radical impacts on housing provision and
tenure, as well as the town and country planning system which
enables its development. There is also a new chapter on Housing Law
in response to demand for a clear and signposting exposition of
this often complex area. Reeves indicates how each theme affects
the other, and suggests policy directions on the basis of past
successes and failures. Paul Reeves takes a people-centred approach

Covering its historic development, important individuals, and
central ideas and issues, this encyclopedia offers broad historical
coverage of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormonism: A Historical Encyclopedia helps readers explore a church
that has gone from being an object of ridicule and sometimes
violent persecution to a worldwide religion, counting prominent
businesspeople and political leaders among its members (including
former Massachusetts governor and recent presidential candidate
Mitt Romney). The encyclopedia begins with an overview of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—six essays cover the
church's history from Joseph Smith's first vision in 1820 to its
current global status. This provides a context for subsequent
sections of alphabetically organized entries on key events and key
figures in Mormon history. A final section looks at important
issues such as the church's organization and government, its
teachings on family, Mormonism and blacks, Mormonism and women, and
Mormonism and Native Americans. Together, these essays and entries,
along with revealing primary sources, portray the Mormon experience
like no other available reference work.

The Protestant white majority in the nineteenth century was
convinced that Mormonism represented a racial-not merely
religious-departure from the mainstream and they spent considerable
effort attempting to deny Mormon whiteness. Being white equalled
access to political, social, and economic power, all aspects of
citizenship in which outsiders sought to limit or prevent Mormon
participation. At least a part of those efforts came through
persistent attacks on the collective Mormon body, ways in which
outsiders suggested that Mormons were physically different,
racially more similar to marginalized groups than they were white.
Medical doctors went so far as to suggest that Mormon polygamy was
spawning a new race. Mormons responded with aspirations toward
whiteness. It was a back and forth struggle between what outsiders
imagined and what Mormons believed. Mormons ultimately emerged
triumphant, but not unscathed. At least a portion of the cost of
their struggle came at the expense of their own black converts.
Mormon leaders moved away from universalistic ideals toward
segregated priesthood and temples, policies firmly in place by the
early twentieth century. So successful were they at claiming
whiteness for themselves, that by the time Mormon Mitt Romney
sought the White House in 2012, he was labelled "the whitest white
man to run for office in recent memory. " Mormons once again found
themselves on the wrong side of white.
Mormonism is one of the few homegrown religions in the United
States, one that emerged out of the religious fervor of the early
nineteenth century. Yet, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints have struggled for status and recognition. In
this book, W. Paul Reeve explores the ways in which nineteenth
century Protestant white America made outsiders out of an inside
religious group. Much of what has been written on Mormon otherness
centers upon economic, cultural, doctrinal, marital, and political
differences that set Mormons apart from mainstream America. Reeve
instead looks at how Protestants racialized Mormons, using physical
differences in order to define Mormons as non-White to help justify
their expulsion from Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. He analyzes and
contextualizes the rhetoric on Mormons as a race with period
discussions of the Native American, African American, Oriental,
Turk/Islam, and European immigrant races. He also examines how
Mormon male, female, and child bodies were characterized in these
racialized debates. For instance, while Mormons argued that
polygamy was ordained by God, and so created angelic, celestial,
and elevated offspring, their opponents suggested that the children
were degenerate and deformed. The Protestant white majority was
convinced that Mormonism represented a racial-not merely
religious-departure from the mainstream and spent considerable
effort attempting to deny Mormon whiteness. Being white brought
access to political, social, and economic power, all aspects of
citizenship in which outsiders sought to limit or prevent Mormon
participation. At least a part of those efforts came through
persistent attacks on the collective Mormon body, ways in which

successful were Mormons at claiming whiteness for themselves that
by the time Mormon Mitt Romney sought the White House in 2012, he
was labeled "the whitest white man to run for office in recent

body, this groundbreaking book brings together literatures on
religion, whiteness studies, and nineteenth century racial history
with the history of politics and migration.
