Black Girl/White Girl - Joyce Carol Oates

Descriere Black Girl/White Girl - Joyce Carol Oates

This painfully intimate depiction of race in America is a double portrait of black and white in America in the years of crisis following the end of the Vietnam War. \n \nIn 1975 Genna Hewett-Meade's college roommate died a mysterious, violent death partway through their freshman year. Minette Swift had been assertive, fiercely individualistic, and one of the few black girls at their exclusive, enlightened college--and Genna, daughter of a prominent civil defense lawyer, felt duty-bound to protect her at all costs. But fifteen years later, while reconstructing Minette's tragic death, Genna is forced to painfully confront her own past life and identity...and her deepest beliefs about social obligation in a morally gray world. \n \nBlack Girl / White Girl is a searing double portrait of race and civil rights in post-Vietnam America, captured by one of the most important literary voices of our time.\n
