Inspired by the searing story of Margaret Garner, the escaped slave who in 1856 slit her daughter’s throat rather than have her forced back into slavery, the essays in this collection focus on historical and contemporary examples of slavery and women’s resistance to oppression from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first. Each chapter uses Garner’s example–the real-life narrative behind Toni Morrison’s Beloved andthe opera Margaret Garner–as a thematic foundation for an interdisciplinary conversation about gendered resistance in locations including Brazil, Yemen, India, and the United States. Contributors are Nailah Randall Bellinger, Olivia Cousins, Mary E. Frederickson, Cheryl Janifer La Roche, Carolyn Mazloomi, Cathy Mc Daniels-Wilson, Catherine Roma, Huda Seif, S. Pearl Sharp, Raquel Luciana de Souza, Jolene Smith, Veta Tucker, Delores M. Walters, Diana Williams, and Kristine Yohe.
