"Uncle Remus" is a collection of African American folktales compiled by journalist Joel Chandler Harris in the late 19th century. The stories are narrated by a character named Uncle Remus, an elderly African American man who shares tales featuring clever animal characters, such as Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear. These stories reflect the culture and oral traditions of the Southern United States. The tales often convey moral lessons and themes of wit and resilience. They were originally published in the Atlanta Constitution newspaper and later compiled into books, becoming popular in American literature. However, the portrayal of African American characters and dialect has sparked discussions about racial stereotypes and cultural representation.
