/ˌʌŋkl tɒmz ˈkæbɪn/
/ˌʌŋkl tɑːmz ˈkæbɪn/
- a novel (1852) by the US writer Harriet Beecher Stowe which increased support for the movement to end slavery. It is about a kind slave called Tom who is badly treated and finally killed by Simon Legree. Tom's daughter Little Eva also dies, and another well-known character in the novel is the child Topsy. The name 'Uncle Tom' is sometimes used as an insult to describe an African American who behaves in a way that shows too much respect for white people.
