Description

This keyword is for characters who move out of Yoknapatawpha to another place inside the South - the "South" being defined in this instance as the former slave-holding states, including the 3 (Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland) that did not secede from the Union. The most typical instance of intraregional migration involves black characters who move to Memphis, like Versh in The Sound and the Fury.  SR

Also it can be used for characters who move into Yoknapatawpha from another place in the South. CR and JJ
