Escaped slave Garner's story, resurrected from obscurity by Toni Morrison's 1987 novel Beloved and Oprah Winfrey's 1998 film adaptation of it, served as the focal point of the Gendered Resistance symposium held in Miami, Florida in October 2005. From that gathering, 10 papers look at historical and cultural perspectives on gendered resistance to slavery and global slavery, healing, and new vision in the 21st century. The topics include Elizabeth Clark Gaines' journey from slavery to freedom, Black women insurgents on abolitionist battlegrounds, whether Quadroon balls represent acquiescence or resistance, experiences from southern Yemen of marginality and allegories of gendered resistance, and the psychological after-effects of racialized sexual violence.
