Episode 2: Navigating Mormon Colonialism

In this episode, PhD students Joseph DuWors and Vinna Chowriamah discuss the impact of colonialism and racism on church members in Mauritius. Reviewing an interview with “Jacques,” a Mauritian of European descent, they explore how race and “otherness” can effect church experience. Vinna, also a Mauritian, explains how, despite the multi-ethnic composition of church units in Mauritius, racism is often hidden from plain sight.
