Joel Chandler Harris

    9 december 1848 – 3 juli 1908

    Joel Chandler Harris was een Amerikaanse journalist wiens kenmerkende stem de Afro-Amerikaanse orale verteltraditie naar een breed publiek bracht. Zijn revolutionaire gebruik van dialect en zijn memorabele sluwe held, Br'er Rabbit, die zijn verstand gebruikt tegen tegenspoed, boeiden de lezers. Deze verhalen, oorspronkelijk uit kranten, boden een geïdealiseerde, zij het populaire, visie op de rassenrelaties in het tijdperk na de Burgeroorlog. Het werk van Harris vierde de vindingrijkheid van folklore en de blijvende aantrekkingskracht ervan in diverse gemeenschappen.
