This writer collected four sketches of Southern life in Mingo, and Other Sketches in Black and White. He called Uncle Tom's Cabin a "wonderful defense of slavery." This author wrote about a freed slave who is forbidden by Calderwood from seeing his wife Lucinda in the short story "Free Joe and the Rest of the World." He was accused by Alice Walker of stealing part of her heritage in an essay whose title indicates that his most iconic creation is "no friend of [hers]." He worked as a journalist for the Atlanta Constitution, where he popularized the Anansi-like story of a doll made out of tar which entraps one character when he punches and kicks it out of anger. That story is one of the African-American folktales collected by this writer, many of which feature Br'er Rabbit. For 10 points, name this author most famous for writing the Uncle Remus stories.
