From the colonial through the antebellum era, enslaved women in the
US used lethal force as the ultimate form of resistance. By
amplifying their voices and experiences, Brooding over Bloody
Revenge strongly challenges assumptions that enslaved women only
participated in covert, non-violent forms of resistance, when in
fact they consistently seized justice for themselves and organized
toward revolt. Nikki M. Taylor expertly reveals how women killed
for deeply personal instances of injustice committed by their
owners. The stories presented, which span centuries and legal
contexts, demonstrate that these acts of lethal force were
carefully pre-meditated. Enslaved women planned how and when their
enslavers would die, what weapons and accomplices were necessary,
and how to evade capture in the aftermath. Original and compelling,
Brooding Over Bloody Revenge presents a window into the lives and
philosophies of enslaved women who had their own ideas about
justice and how to achieve it.
