Br'er Rabbit(also spelled Bre'r Rabbit or Brer Rabbit or Bruh Rabbit) is a centralfigure in the Uncle Remus stories of the Southern United States. He is atrickster character who succeeds through his wits rather than throughstrength, tweaking authority figures and bending social mores as he seesfit. The origin of Br'er Rabbit is linked to both Cherokee and Africancultures. Although Joel Chandler Harris collected materials for hisfamous series of books featuring the character Br'er Rabbit in the1870s, the Br'er Rabbit cycle had been recorded earlier among theCherokees: The 'tar baby' story was printed in an 1845 edition of theCherokee Advocate the same year Joel Chandler Harris was born.Rabbit/Hare myths abound among Algonkin Indians in Eastern NorthAmerica, particularly under the name Nanabozho, 'Great Hare', who isgenerally regarded as supreme deity among tribes in eastern Canada. 'Itappears that Joel Chandler Harris, when he wrote them, did not realizethat his Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Fox were originally Cherokeeinventions.'VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 76 pp. Englisch.
