Journal Article
On the Mormon Question: Race, Sex, and Polygamy in the 1850s and the 1990s
2005
Overview
Burgett cites two reasons for recalling a largely forgotten association between the antislavery and antipolygamy movements. The first is a political concern with the invocation of antipolygamy discourse--and its racializing intertexts--by both opponents and proponents of same-sex marriage during the last decade. The second is a historical concern with the ways in which discourses of sex and race are produced and reproduced through the conjuncture in the mid-nineteenth century of the deployment of monogamous conjugal norms on the one hand, and the imperial consolidation of the nation-state on the other.
