{"product_id":"the-myth-of-ham-in-s-johnson-9781403965622","title":"The Myth of Ham in Nineteenth-Century American Christianity: Race, Heathens, and the People of God","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
