Who is the narrator of the Brer Rabbit stories?

Br'er Rabbit (Brother Rabbit), also spelled Bre'r Rabbit, Bruh Rabbit or Brer Rabbit, is a central figure as Uncle Remus tells stories of the Southern United States. He is a trickster who succeeds by his wits rather than by brawn, provoking authority figures and bending social mores as he sees fit. The character was first recorded by Joel Chandler Harris in the 19th century, and later The Walt Disney Company adapted it for its 1946 animated motion picture 'Song of the South'.

Harris was a journalist in post-Reconstruction Atlanta, and he produced seven Uncle Remus books. He wrote these stories to represent the struggle in the Southern United States, and more specifically in the plantations. He did so by introducing tales that he had heard and framing them in the plantation context. He wrote his stories in a dialect which was his interpretation of Deep South Negro language of the time. For these framing and stylistic choices, his collection has encountered controversy.
