“A meticulous study, based on primary as well as secondary sources, of the cultural and political context from which certain racial doctrines found their way into the Mormon heritage.” — Armand L. Mauss, Review of Religious Research
“An excellent treatment of an important part of American religious life. Bringhurst succeeds in showing the Mormons as a microcosm of the American population.” — Lester B. Scherer, The American Historical Review
“An exhaustive study of considerable depth and breadth. . . . The author has mastered the primary sources and the literature, and has used them for all they are worth. . . . While invaluable for Mormon studies, this book is valuable also to all students of institutions and cultural change.” — S. George Ellsworth, Pacific Historical Review
“When Alan Cherry, an African American who joined the Mormon Church in the 1960s suggested that the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies interview LDS African Americans, I was interested but had no idea how to begin. Newell Bringhurst’s Saints, Slaves, and Blacks gave me the background information I needed to put the experiences of African American Mormons in a historical context. I continued to use as I wrote Black Saints in a White Church. While recent studies expand the scholarship on LDS blacks, any research should start with Bringhurst’s thoughtful book. It is great to see it back in print.” — Jessie L. Embry, author of Black Saints in a White Church: Contemporary African American Mormons
“In many regards Bringhurst established the terms on which subsequent scholars would engage race and Mormonism. He also hinted at and anticipated avenues for future inquire which historians are only beginning to study. . . . Kofford’s reissue of Saints, Slaves, and Blacks is therefore a welcome readdition to the flourishing of scholarship on a subject that Bringhurst helped to pioneer and then refused to abandon. We are all the beneficiaries of his resolve.” — W. Paul Reeve, author of Religion of a Different Color: Race and the Mormon Struggle for Whiteness
“Bringhurst became one of the first scholars in an emerging field of Mormon Studies to unwittingly use Whiteness Theory as an analytical tool in studying LDS race relations. . . . Newell’s erudite review of racist white male behavior led to a paradigm shift in my understanding of Mormon history.” — Darron T. Smith, author of When Race, Religion, and Sport Collide: Black Athletes at BYU and Beyond
“Many of the book’s points should be standard fare in discussions of American religious history, including the reality that all religions in the United States have had to contend with slavery, race, and racism in some way, shape, or form. . . . after my fourth or fifth reading of Bringhurst’s book in the early 2000s, I concluded that it was simply ahead of its time.” — Edward J. Blum, co-author with Paul Harvey of The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America
