Synopsis
Black Girl / White Girl is a novel by Joyce Carol Oates first published in 2006. It takes the form of an untitled 300 page manuscript written in 1990 by Generva Meade, a white historian, who truthfully recounts the events which happened during her freshman year at a prestigious liberal college in 1974-75, and Meade's own paternal family history which uncomfortable spans the gap between a proud history of progressive thinking and subsequent revolutionary and violent ideas.
