The modern Yoknapatawpha belongs to the modern America, the "one nation" whose lack of an ethnic or regional identity is represented by the newest monument on Courthouse Square: a German anti-tank gun captured during World War II in Africa by a "regiment of Japanese in American uniforms, whose mothers and fathers . . . were in a California detention camp for enemy aliens" (194).
