Noah's Curse: The Biblical Justification of American Slavery - Religion in America
Haynes, Stephen R. (Associate Professor and A.B. Curry Chair of Religious Studies, Associate Professor and A.B. Curry Chair of Religious Studies, Rhodes College)
"A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren". So reads Noah's curse on his son Ham, and all his descendants, in Genesis 9:25. In this work, Stephen Haynes examines the history of the American interpretation of Noah's curse, turning to the ways in which the curse was appropriated by American pro-slavery and pro-segregation interpreters.
