À propos de ce contenu audio

 Many readers will recognize Uncle Remus’ beloved animal characters, like Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox, along with the enchanting tales that surround them. The term tar baby, which signifies a particularly sticky situation, has even made its way into everyday language. Even those unfamiliar with these stories likely know not to toss a rabbit into a briar patch, thanks to Walt Disney’s groundbreaking film Song of the South, inspired by Uncle Remus tales. Joel Chandler Harris, a Georgia newsman, grew up immersed in the folktales of the local Black community and later shared these stories in the Atlanta Constitution. The narratives featuring Uncle Remus, an old Black man striving to survive in the post-Civil War South, became immensely popular. Harriss innovative spelling captures the essence of Black dialect, making his work both unique and impactful. While some aspects of the book may not align with todays standards of political correctness, it offers a heartfelt glimpse into plantation life after the war. Uncle Remus himself is portrayed as a warm, humorous figure, and the tales that follow provide a rich historical tapestry that remains relevant. (Summary by Mark)Copyright Animals & Nature
