Tar-Baby
American Folklore character and metaphor
Tar-Baby
The Tar-Baby is the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is about a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br'er Fox to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes. The phrase "tar baby" has acquired idiomatic meanings over the years, including a negative racial connotation.
