Abstract

Jorge Iber's debut, Hispanics in the Mormon Zion, earned the impressive honor of the Mormon History Association's 2001 Best First Book Award. Iber brings the intellectual tools and fresh insights of ethnic studies into the field of Mormon history in an examination of the experience of Spanish-speaking populations of northern Utah. Through the richness of oral histories combined with prodigious archival and demographic research, Iber tells the fascinating sotry of Utah's largest ethnic minority, people whom Mormons often identify with the Others from the Book of Mormon, the Lamanites.

Keywords: Hispanic, Mormon, Spanish, ethnic studies, Utah, Lamanite, oral history
