Next to Chile and Brazil, Philippines is the 3rd fastest Mormon country and it is in Asia, the only Christian country there? Great that you posted this Ms. Heidi. I've been following the 1st part till here. Very Scholarly. Where is the place of the Filipino’s, East Asians who have current membership of 600,000 and tens of thousands is baptized every year.

I really think you could submit this paper to a larger general journal if you contextualized the Mormon ideas within the greater processes of racialization in the United States at this time. The <em>Ozawa v the United States</em> decision in 1922 declared that Asian immigrants could not become naturalized citizens of the United States. This acknowledged that Asians would be outside the purvey of the 14th Amendment, and that restrictions on Asian land ownership could be upheld as Constitutional. Roger Daniels and Alexander Saxton have documented the Anti-Asian movement well in California. I think it is important to acknowledge, though, that the Yellow Peril rhetoric did not play such a profound role in Utah as in other Western States. California passed its Alien Land Law in the 1910s and Idaho passed one in 1923. Utah would not pass such legislation until the extreme hysteria of World War II. I don't think that the people of Utah saw the Japanese as a threat to overrun their economy. In Utah they tended to radiate toward crops and industry in which the white population did not want to be involved--at least that's my sense. Heidi,
