Br'er Rabbit

Br'er Rabbit (pronounced "BRAIR," shortened from Brother Rabbit) emerges from the rich oral traditions of African-Americans in the American South and African diaspora communities in the Caribbean, particularly among Afro-Bahamians and the people of Turks and Caicos. As a quintessential trickster figure, he triumphs through cleverness rather than strength, regularly challenging authority and social conventions. The character gained widespread recognition through Joel Chandler Harris's 19th-century collections of these tales, and later reached an even broader audience through adaptations like Walt Disney Productions' 1946 film Song of the South.
