"I've significantly expanded this page over the past few days and would appreciate any help with adding sources or information, or subtracting clutter and bias. Harris' journalism is slightly less ambiguous than his work with Uncle Remus, but it hasn't been explored in much detail by scholars. There's a new peer-reviewed journal article on the subject coming out this fall, however, and I'll be sure to include it once I get a copy." BardSeed (talk) 21:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The rabbit in Africa was called Zomo." What's the point of this sentence? It just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the article about the Uncle Remus stories. Are you trying to tie Uncle Remus & Brer Rabbit to African legends? if so, you should probably be more clear about that in the article. Billy Shears 14:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Some actual information about the guy would be nice, am i rite? User.lain 03:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that the H.L. Mencken paragraph is relevant. While it touches on some important topics regarding Harris, it says more about Mencken than it does Harris. I'll delete this one once I become more familiar with editing pages and, if I can find it, replace this quote with another by Mencken that's more direct. BardSeed 19:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that Rabbit was learned from Native Americans is false. There may have been some syncretism, but the Trickster God, Manabozho (Hare) and his stories are well documented. http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/african-mythology.php?deity=HARE --Salsassin (talk) 16:50, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
