About “Black Girl/White Girl”
Black Girl/White Girl by Joyce Carol Oates centers on Genna, the former roommate of Minette Swift, a 19-year-old African-American scholarship student at an exclusive, mostly white liberal arts college near Philadelphia, who died under mysterious circumstances fifteen years earlier. Genna undertakes an unofficial inquiry into Minette's death, reconstructing their tumultuous freshman year during the racially charged 1960s in Philadelphia and reflecting on her own life as the daughter of a famous "radical-hippie-lawyer" of the 1960s.
