Loading... Noah's Curse : The Biblical Justification of American Slavery (Religion in America Series) (edition 2002)by Stephen R. HaynesAlthough it reads like a revised dissertation (which it may perhaps be), the initial chapters offer a useful overview of the employment of Biblical mythology to support and sustain American racism from slavery to Jim Crow. He dwells overlong on the example of one preacher, Benjamin Palmer, and the final chapter in which he strives to put a new spin on the tale of Noah's Curse may be skipped for all those not of a theological bent. |
