Description

Driven Toward Madness: The Fugitive Slave Margaret Garner and Tragedy on the OhioMargaret 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

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.

It’s not quite hypoallergenic
It has a fragrance. And the one from Avene that can be used post procedure does not have a fragrance. So I find the fragrance irritates my skin. I bought this for the winter. But I can’t use it because it causes contact dermatitis for me.

Rich moisturizer
I love this rich moisturizer, great for winter skin. I have received comments that my skin looks nice when I wear this. I only add a bit of bronzer for color and it gives my skin a dewey look and it lasts all day.

Smooth Skin
This is my favorite moisturizer. I’ve bought so many others and paid a fortune but this is the best! It hydrates and doesn’t clog my pores.
