A Sociology of Mormon Kinship. The Place of Family Within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Abstract
Lee Black's book is possibly one of the most comprehensive that deeply analyzes the meaning of family in the Mormon faith. In my opinion, one of the aspects that stand out most in his work, is her model of the symbolic system of the family. A Sociology of Mormon Kinship is a work that relies on a solid theoretical framework of personal interviews as well as a hermeneutic study of the Mormons. So, her work projects the family beyond the mere Mormon environment, extending it to the analysis of community participation in society.
