| 1585 | Great Migration | History |
This term is widely used by historians to refer to the movement of some six million African Americans out of the South and into the urban North and West between the First World War and the 1960s. Samuel Worsham Beauchamp, who in the 1930s leaves Yoknapatawpha to live in Chicago in "Go Down, Moses," is an example of a character who participates in the Great Migration. SR |

TMT: I created this keyword to highlight the differences between the young woman's racial experience in the North and the South, where certain kinds of labor are done by certain races--in this case, taking in laundry by black women. |

I added this for "The Old People," 206.5, to describe how the narrator sees Sam Fathers growing smaller and smaller as the hunting party leaves him behind. I don't really like the term that I chose but I couldn't think of anything else. LW |

I added this for "The Old People," 205.3, to reflect the lack of emotion that Sam Fathers shows. LW |

| 1659 | Frame | Narrative |
Though somewhat obvious, this refers to a "nested" narrative where a story is told by someone to someone else. The example here is the opening of The Reivers, where the entire text is framed as being told to Lucius III by Lucius II. JB |

| 1631 | Racial | Friendship |
I did not create this definition, but I read this as friendships that occur by virtue of people being of the same race. For example, Ned and Ephum in the Reivers are surrounded by white people and form friendship. Not sure how this term is meant to be used though. JB |
