Margaret Garner was the runaway slave who, when confronted with
capture just outside of Cincinnati, slit the throat of her toddler
daughter rather than have her face a life in slavery. Her story has
inspired Toni Morrison's Beloved, a film based on the novel
starring Oprah Winfrey, and an opera. Yet, her life has defied
solid historical treatment. In Driven toward Madness, Nikki M.
Taylor brilliantly captures her circumstances and her
transformation from a murdering mother to an icon of tragedy and
resistance. Taylor, the first African American woman to write a
history of Garner, grounds her approach in black feminist theory.
She melds history with trauma studies to account for shortcomings
in the written record. In so doing, she rejects distortions and
fictionalized images; probes slavery's legacies of sexual and
physical violence and psychic trauma in new ways; and finally
fleshes out a figure who had been rendered an apparition.
