acknowledgments The coeditors wish to acknowledge a number of individuals whose help was invaluable in the preparation of this volume. Essential are the seven authors who have contributed essays, namely Alma Allred, Ronald G. Coleman , Darius A. Gray, Jessie L. Embry, Armand L. Mauss, Cardell K. Jacobson, and Ken Driggs. Armand Mauss, moreover, offered important suggestions in reading and critiquing several of the individual essays, allowing the coeditors to beneļ¬t from his extensive knowledge of Mormon-black race relations. Important insights were also provided by Wilfred D. Samuels, director of the Black Studies Department at the University of Utah; Audrey Thompson, William Smith, and Edward Buendia, professors in the Department of Education, Culture, and Society at the University of Utah; Cliff Mayes and Scott Ferrin, Department of Educational Leadership and Foundations, David O. McKay School of Education, Brigham Young University; and Margaret Blair Young, Department of English, Brigham Young University. Liz Dulany, acquisitions editor at the University of Illinois Press, has been essential in facilitating the process of revision and editing. Her sagacious insights and suggestions have been useful in improving the scholarly content and literary quality of this volume. Finally, most critical to making this volume a reality has been the encouragement and forbearance of our wives, Mary Ann and Joy, both of whom tolerated our numerous long-distance, long-winded telephone conversations as we struggled to hammer out the form and features of this work. 00.FM.i-x_Brin 6/8/11, 2:44 PM 9 00.FM.i-x_Brin 6/8/11, 2:44 PM 10 ...
