| Résumé: | Prologue: The Perfectionist snow-bound funeral orgy of 1839 and what this book is not about -- More -- Metanarrative -- Marriage -- Spiritual -- Sexual -- Institutional -- Shaker family drama -- Polygamy and persecution at Nauvoo : the Mormons, 1842-1844 -- "A scatteration at Oneida" -- Succession, relocation, and proclamation : the Mormons, 1844-1852 -- Selfishness and status -- Control -- Revival -- Gender -- Children -- The Shakers, from revolution to refuge -- The triumph of bread and butter at Oneida -- The war on polygamy and the temporal salvation of the Mormon Church. "Sex and Sects tells the story of three religiously inspired sexual innovations in America--Shaker celibacy, Mormon polygamy, and the Oneida Community's free love. It explores why these bold experiments rose and then fell primarily over the course of the nineteenth century and almost exclusively within the confines of the new American republic. Rather than view them through a social-scientific lens, Sex and Sects traces their fascinating shared trajectory as they emerged, struggled, institutionalized, and declined in tandem"-- |
