Millions of southerners left the South in the twentieth century in a mass migration that has, in many ways, rewoven the fabric of American society on cultural, political, and economic levels. Because the movements of southerners--and people in general--are controlled not only by physical boundaries marked on a map but also by narratives that define movement, narrative is central in building and sustaining borders and in breaking them down. In Leaving the South: Border Crossing Narratives and the Remaking of Southern Identity, author Mary Weaks-Baxter analyzes narratives by and about those who left the South and how those narratives have remade what it means to be southern.\nDrawing from a broad range of narratives, including literature, newspaper articles, art, and music, Weaks-Baxter\n\nLeaving the South\nBorder Crossing Narratives and the Remaking of Southern Identity\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked ;
