Inhoud:

"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.
