This work unravels the etiologies and shows how the Curse, an etiology of black slavery, evolved from an earlier etiology explaining the existence of dark-skinned people. We see when, where, why, and how an original mythic tale of black origins morphed into a story of the origins of black slavery, and how, in turn, the second then supplanted the first as an explanation for black skin. In the process we see how formulations of the Curse changed over time, depending on the historical and social contexts, reflecting and refashioning the way blackness and blacks were perceived. In particular, two significant developments are uncovered. First, a curse of slavery, originally said to affect various dark-skinned peoples, was eventually applied most commonly to black Africans. Second, blackness, originally incidental to the curse, in time became part of the curse itself. Dark skin now became an intentional marker of servitude, the visible sign of the blacks' degradation, and in the process deprecating black skin itself. 410 0$aStudies of the Bible and its reception ;$vVolume 10. 606 $aBlack people in the Bible 606 $aBlack people$xPublic opinion$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBlack people in the Bible. 615 0$aBlack people$xPublic opinion$xHistory. 676 $a220.8/305896 700 $aGoldenberg$b David M.$f1947-$01046675 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465870103321 996 $aBlack and slave$92492911 997 $aUNINA
