Product Information
Our fascination with the trickster figure, whose presence is global, stems from our desire to break free from the tightly regimented structures of our societies. Condemned to conform to laws and rules imposed by governments, communities, social groups and family bonds, we revel in the fantasy of the trickster whose energy and cunning knows no bounds and for whom nothing is sacred. One such trickster is Brer Rabbit, who was introduced to North America through the folktales of enslaved Africans. On the plantations, Brer Rabbit, like Anansi in the Caribbean, functioned as a resistance figure for the enslaved whose trickery was aimed at undermining and challenging the plantation regime. Yet as Brer Rabbit tales moved from the oral tradition to the printed page in the late nineteenth-century, the trickster was emptied of his potentially powerful symbolism by white American collectors, authors and folklorists in their attempt to create a nostalgic fantasy of the plantation past. American Trickster offers readers a unique insight into the cultural significance of the Brer Rabbit trickster figure, from his African roots and through to his influence on contemporary culture. Exploring the changing portrayals of the trickster figure through a wealth of cultural forms including folktales, advertising, fiction and films the book scrutinises the profound tensions between the perpetuation of damaging racial stereotypes and the need to keep African-American folk traditions alive. Emily Zobel Marshall argues that Brer Rabbit was eventually reclaimed by twentieth-century African-American novelists whose protagonists 'trick' their way out of limiting stereotypes, break down social and cultural boundaries and offer readers practical and psychological methods for challenging the traumatic legacies of slavery and racism.

Reviews
Emily Zobel Marshall traces the figure of Brer Rabbit across African American history and culture from the Plantations to the fiction of Toni Morrison. This book is a wonderfully subtle examination of why the story of Brer Rabbit is about resistance, survival and ambivalence., In her engaging and well-researched book American Trickster, Emily Zobel Marshall traces the history of Brer Rabbit and his representation in folklore, literature, and popular culture in the United States and beyond. Her compelling study demonstrates how Brer Rabbit tales have been used to further sometimes diametrically opposed political ends, from reinforcing racist caricatures such as the "happy plantation darkie" to celebrating the resilience of African Americans in the face of oppression... American Trickster is an illuminating study of Brer Rabbit's journey across time and space... Marshall's interdisciplinary book will appeal especially to readers interested in African American literature, oral tradition, and popular culture., With a far-weaving scholarly eye, Emily Zobel Marshall liberates Brer Rabbit from the cuddly context of children's bedtime stories into the subversive figure of the trans-forming trickster who provides a healing gateway out of the crippling cycle of trans-Atlantic trauma. In this work Zobel Marshall crucially explores Brer Rabbit within the wide spectrum of the trickster, not only as a timely reminder of the fluidity of identity, but as an empowering folk-muse whose presence resonates from the oral tradition to African-American novelist, Toni Morrison's literary landscape., American Trickster: Trauma, Tradition and Brer Rabbit lays out all of the ironies embedded in the story of how this trickster tale came into its own as African American folklore, directly related to the lives of Blacks within plantation culture, only to be appropriated in the form of plantation fantasies by White collectors as an alibi for the system of slavery the tales worked to circumvent and subvert. Zobel-Marshall's study foregrounds the rich and complex cultural history and impact of Brer Rabbit trickster tales within African American, American, and global culture, from cultural appropriation and alienation to the cultural reappropriation of the tales by African American authors to overcome the trauma of their past., Countless millions of American and European children--including epic-oriented presidents ("Teddy" Roosevelt) and genteel UK writers (Beatrix Potter)--grew up on Uncle Remus & Brer Rabbit, Joel Chandler Harris' whitewashed expropriation of African-American trickster-lore. Marshall, yoking Harris' tales to European and American racial tastes, demonstrates that classic tricksters--Hermes, Anansi, Brer Rabbit--have long been in, and walked among, us. For those attuned to the cultural history and politics of trickster-lore and African-American literary responses, American Trickster is a welcome addition., The origins and cultural specificity of the Brer Rabbit stories - fables of a trickster whose cunning overcomes adverse circumstances and adversaries - have been contested in fierce exchanges over decades. Writing in a clear and concise style in American Trickster, Emily Zobel Marshall teases apart and ably illuminates this complicated cultural phenomenon in a way which, though academically rigorous, will also enthral readers unfamiliar with Brer Rabbit's complexity.Drawing on a wealth of research, Zobel Marshall's close textural reading weaves together an impressive tapestry of ownership and remembrance. She is a skilled navigator charting Brer Rabbit's brisk and challenging journey, from the stories' African roots through to their sanitised renditions in support of a mythologised, idyllic ante-bellum South, before their eventual reclamation by African American storytellers. In doing so at this time of cultural crisis, with the kind of beguiling wit worthy of her subject, Zobel Marshall reminds us of the importance of keeping the past in the present., The origins and cultural specificity of the Brer Rabbit stories - fables of a trickster whose cunning overcomes adverse circumstances and adversaries - have been contested in fierce exchanges over decades.

In doing so at this time of cultural crisis, with the kind of beguiling wit worthy of her subject, Zobel Marshall reminds us of the importance of keeping the past in the present., As a work of cultural anthropology that traces the origins, adaptations, distortions, and reclamations of the folkloric Brer Rabbit trickster figure in literary and cinematic forms, this is an exceptionally useful piece of scholarship. Marshall (cultural studies, Leeds Beckett Univ., UK) has previously published on the primarily Caribbean trickster Anansi (Anansi's Journey: A Story of Jamaican Cultural Resistance, 2012), and that work helps both ground and illuminate her analysis of the markedly different development of the Brer Rabbit story in the US and Great Britain. With their considerable research and skillful organization, the opening three chapters compellingly demonstrate that the appropriation of Brer Rabbit by white scholars and writers including Joel Chandler Harris, Alcée Fortier, Beartrix Potter, Enid Blyton, and Alan Lomax served to largely undermine the power of Brer Rabbit to subvert colonial power and offset some of its traumatic effects. Summing Up: Recommended. . . Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.
