Sobre este artículo
As complicated as such a legacy is, the collection also acts as a printed record of supreme importance for African-American oral traditions. Robert Bone argues that "[t]o neglect the Brer Rabbit tales because a white man was the first to write them down is to betray the black man's folk tradition" (quoted in Gates and Tatar). In the recent publication of the ANNOTATED AFRICAN AMERICAN FOLKTALES edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Maria Tatar, the folklore recorded by Harris is given a full chapter and its complex history discussed. "In my house, growing up in Piedmont, West Virginia, we collected Mother Goose and Joel Chandler Harris," Gates told THE NEW YORK TIMES, "My father used to tell Brer Rabbit stories to my brother and me all the time."
African American authors continue to draw from this tradition to create art true to their own voices, from Charles Chesnutt's forays into mythic storytelling, to Ralph Ellison's ambiguous Ulysses-Brer Rabbit trickster imagery, to Toni Morrison's TAR BABY, to Jerry Pinkney's visual tours de force. 7.5'' x 5''. Original green cloth stamped in gold and black. With "presumptive" misspelled on p. 9, bottom line, and without ads for this title in rear. Illustrated by Frederick Church and James Moser. Publisher's catalogue at rear. 231, [1], [8] pages. Housed in custom quarter green goatskin clamshell box. Gift inscription on 2nd fly leaf in purple pencil: "Henry ___ / from aunt Julia / Xmas 1880". Expert repair to spine ends, hinges, one leaf, and one plate.
