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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
