The Injustice of Noah’s Curse analyzes hundreds of interpretations of Noah’s curse (Genesis 9:18–29), towards an argument that they all fall short of making sense of this notoriously difficult passage due to a common presumption. Reed critiques the way this presumption inhibits interpreters from accepting what is obvious in the passage: Noah’s curse is unjust. Using insights from critical race theory and speech act theory, the book offers a new literary interpretation of Noah’s unjust curse as an ironic climax to Noah’s life.
