Br'er Rabbit, meaning 'brother rabbit' (also spelled Bre'r Rabbit or Brer Rabbit) is a fictional character, the hero of the Uncle Remus stories derived from African American folktales of the Southern United States.
The stories can be traced back to trickster figures in Africa, particularly the hare that figures prominently in the storytelling traditions in Central and Southern Africa. These tales continue to be part of the traditional folklore of Bantu-speaking peoples throughout that region. In West Africa, the trickster is usually the spider, though the plots of spider tales are often identical to those of rabbit stories.
