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.

Best chew toy ever!
Size: Large
My doodles love this chew. My 4 year old doodle still has hers. Very durable. I’ve bought this for all my friends and neighbors with new puppies! I have a new 7 month old doodle- she has not torn up anything...I feel it’s because of this chew.

Lasts a long time
Very durable and my dog loves it. He’s not a big guy but is a determined chewed. Either he destroys the toys in a day or two or has not interest in chewing it. This keeps his interest and I has lasted a week with only a little wear to it.

Highest rated chew toy in my house! Worth it!
Pro’s - I have mini Daschund’s and a 50lb Aussie and these are the favorite chew toys in the house. We have 4 dogs total and at first there was only one and all others would stare at the one that had it till he got board then it was war. Because of this I bought more. Con’s - they are Hard plastic and are loud when they are playing with them on hardwoods, like super loud. Also they are not forgiving if stepped on.

My super chewer loves this toy!
This toy is a hit for our 1 year old puppy. She’s a super chewer and destroys every toy we give her within days. The toys has lasted a month and keeps her occupied for hours!
