Joel Chandler Harris

    9 de diciembre de 1848 – 3 de julio de 1908

    Joel Chandler Harris fue un periodista estadounidense cuya voz distintiva llevó la tradición oral afroamericana a una amplia audiencia. Su uso revolucionario del dialecto y su memorable héroe embaucador, Br'er Rabbit, quien usa su ingenio contra la adversidad, cautivaron a los lectores. Estos cuentos, originados en periódicos, ofrecieron una visión idealizada, aunque popular, de las relaciones raciales en la era posterior a la Guerra Civil. El trabajo de Harris celebró el ingenio del folclore y su perdurable atractivo en diversas comunidades.
