Brooke Kathleen Brassard sheds light on the Latter-day Saint experience in southern Alberta between 1887 and 1947, revealing how the Latter-day Saints integrated into Canadian society while maintaining their \"peculiar\" identity through architecture, business practices, political participation, gendered roles, and family structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on family histories, correspondence, meeting minutes, and oral histories, Brassard explores how the Church negotiated the tension between integration and otherness. The book demonstrates how Latter-day Saints in southern Alberta embedded themselves in the social, economic, and political structures of Canada and how they adapted Mormonism to Canadian circumstances. It draws on the concept of \"lived religion\" and historical methodologies to reveal the complications that occur in the process of negotiation for members of a minority religion in Canada. \u003ci\u003eThirsty Land into Springs of Water\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately illuminates the ways in which mainstream Canadian society forces newcomers to decide what they will adopt, reject, or adapt in order to belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brooke Kathleen Brassard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487506333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487506339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Brooke Kathleen Brassard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070153814271,"sku":"9781487506339","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c5231ae-5fac-4ec6-9702-776a4fba8a0c.jpg?v=1685428675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thirsty-land-into-springs-of-brassard-brooke-kathleen-9781487506339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
