It has been accepted for inclusion in Osgoode Hall Law Journal by an authorized editor of Osgoode Digital Commons. Bountiful Voices Abstract Common portrayals of Canada's only openly polygamous community cast it as a space frozen in time, both socially and intellectually. "Bountiful," British Columbia is a sixty-five-year-old community comprised of followers of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Many residents espouse plural marriage as a central tenet of their faith, believing that the practice leads not only to a good terrestrial life but, also, to facilitated entry into the "celestial kingdom." Visual and written accounts of Bountiful routinely present the women of this community as submissive, silenced, and isolated. Their traditional dress, and the number of children often captured following or clinging to them, suggest conservatism, and possibly also social regression and exploitation. This imagery bolsters current legal approaches to plural marriage in Canada. In particular, the notion that gender inequality and oppression are inherent to polygamy serves to support the criminal prohibition of plural marriage. This article presents a counter-narrative to this common portrayal of the FLDS wife.

  • Religious Identity and Discrimination in the Public Realm: the Case of Polygamy in Western Canada
    Religious Identity and Discrimination in the Public Realm: The Case of Polygamy in Western Canada Avigail Eisenberg (Universidad de Victoria, Canadá) Polygamy has been criminally prohibited in Canada since 1890,1 but many people, including some communities, openly engage in the practice either as a matter of lifestyle choice,2 because the practice is culturally familiar and accepted,3 or because it is religious mandated, as it is in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS), who are also known as ‘fundamentalist Mormons’. Rarely have polygamists in North America been charged with the offence and those who have been convicted tend to receive light penalties. However, starting in 2002, this situation changed. At that time, the FLDS community in North America gained national and international attention due to a conflict within the community between rival leaders, one of whom, Warren Jeffs, was convicted in Utah as an accomplice for his role in arranging a marriage between a 14 year old girl and her 19 year old cousin.4 In the context of the conflict, Jeffs tried to excommunicate his rival in Canada, Winston Blackmore, which led to a split in the 1 Today, section 293 of Canada’s Criminal Code contains similar wording to the 1890 statute. Section 293 states: (1) Everyone who (a) practises or enters into or in any manner agrees or consents to practise or enter into (i) any form of polygamy, or (ii) any kind of conjugal union with more than one person at the same time, whether or not it is by law recognized as a binding form of marriage, or (b) celebrates, assists or is a party to a rite, ceremony, contract or consent that purports to sanction a relationship mentioned in subparagraph (a)(i) or (ii), is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.

  • The Biopolitics of Normative Monogamy: a Critical Discourse Analysis of the Polygamy Debate and Bountiful, British Columbia
    THE BIOPOLITICS OF NORMATIVE MONOGAMY: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE POLYGAMY DEBATE AND BOUNTIFUL, BRITISH COLUMBIA by ADAM BURKE CARMICHAEL A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Adam Burke Carmichael, 2010 Abstract The issue of polygamy has become a political problem in the last twenty years in Canada, and in British Columbia specifically, because of legal ambiguity regarding the constitutionality of Canada's anti-polygamy law. This problem has been approached by academics primarily through a legal negotiation of women's rights versus religious minority rights. Popular polygamy discourse, however, is largely informed by a debate within the print media over core Canadian values regarding sexuality. This thesis examines the unequal power dynamics that serve as the preconditions for this debate and that are reinforced through the discourse. These dynamics form a complex web between various groups such as GLBTQ communities, social conservatives, secular feminists and those practising polygamy. I rely on a genealogical discourse analysis that traces the development of polygamy discourse in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, and the continuity of this discourse in the contemporary debate in Canada. Drawing on a critical analysis of Canadian print media, I argue that the contemporary polygamy debate reinforces a biopolitics of normalization in which a hetero-normative, monogamous and economically productive family unit is privileged at the expense of marginalized sexual-family structures that are characterized as a threat to the national population.

Miracles do exist in our day and age.2 ith the publication of Plural Wife, USU has expanded their perspective of what it W means to be a "frontier" woman, and with good reason. Mabel Finlayson Allred, one of several wives married to "Fundamentalist" Mormon leader Rulon Allred, experienced a life of challenges reminiscent to pioneer women of an earlier period, while living amongst Twentieth-century members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [LDS]. Ostracized by the LDS leadership, and most members of the "Mother Church" based in Salt Lake City, Utah, she and her fellow sister wives struggled to find peace and happiness adhering to what they believed was the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, restored by Joseph Smith.

  • Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy In
    “What’s love got to do with it?” Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy in Canada and the United States. By Anastasia Alexopoulos A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Gender Studies In conformity with the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2020 Copyright © Anastasia Alexopoulos 2020 ABSTRACT This project interrogates the weaponization of heteronormative marriage in processes of state formation and in relation to practices of polygamy. This dissertation explores how gender and race have been used at the service of the white settler-colonial state via the criminalization of polygamy; and, the role of law, policy, and science in the contemporary construction and perpetuation of normative gender roles and racial hierarchies which rely on the primacy of monogamous marriage and the criminalization of polygamy to remain coherent. Engaging with bodies of theoretical work that highlight how polygamy has been and continues to be utilized in a myriad of processes including normative constructions of the family, nation building, the state and citizenship; race and racism; sexuality; and gender equality, this dissertation investigates and interrogates struggles over the meaning and representation of polygamy at the intersection of history, law, and culture. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been working on this dissertation for over a decade and I could not thank every person who made this possible because that list would be as long as the dissertation itself. If I don’t thank you individually here please know that I am beyond thankful for every coffee, dinner, park visit, walk, car ride, email, and text message.

  • Regulating Visibility: Secrecy and Surveillance in Insular Religious Communities
    Regulating Visibility: Secrecy and Surveillance in Article Insular Religious Communities Deirdre McDonald Carleton University, Canada [email protected] Abstract Insular religious communities offer significant insights into some of the issues facing contemporary Western societies, including the issues of religious secrecy and surveillance. The role of secrecy in these communities involves dynamic strategies invoked for many reasons in equally numerous contexts. The behaviours and practices of these groups often reflect much larger issues present in today’s society. In this way, they can guide us in understanding the role of surveillance from a sociological perspective in the current climate of tensions and anxieties. These communities are especially useful for thinking about questions of why some religious groups rigidly control and restrict access to bodies of secret, sacred knowledge or activities and in turn how religious secrecy is viewed by the wider social worlds in which their degree of visibility fluctuates. Here, I suggest an opportunity emerges for the study of secrecy in relation to the notion of regulating visibility by reorienting the focus from the roles of secrets and of secretive practices to one that also considers the more visible forms and strategies through which secrets and secretive practices come to be and are sustained.
