1895. American author and journalist, Harris is famous, or infamous
as the case may be, for his humorous adaptations of black folk
legends in the Uncle Remus Stories. The Uncle Remus folk tales,
told by a Negro to a little boy, feature a variety of animals with
the rabbit as hero and the fox next in importance, and often stress
the importance of brains over brawn. Harris fell out of favor with
black critics and scholars in the '60s due to what they consider is
arguably the worst kind of racist stereotyping-the depiction of
ex-slaves identifying with the plantation system of the Old South.
But in recent years these same critics are beginning to believe
that Harris might have saved an important legacy. Told by his
friends and acquaintances, The Story of Aaron is a children's story
of a black slave in Georgia who knows the language of the animals.
