This monograph is an original study of what is commonly termed the
American "myth of Ham." It examines black and white Americans'
recourse to the biblical character of Ham as a cultural strategy
for explaining racial origins. Previous studies in the area have
been restricted to associating the Hamitic idea with pro-slavery
arguments, whereas the thesis of this project reveals a fundamental
irony: black American Christians who reinforced the meanings of
illegitimacy by appealing to Ham as the ancestor of the race.
