Hey, White Girl!

Book Overview
This book relates the story of a young white student - not a teacher - in a ghetto school. The viewpoint is significant because it is a white student speaking from a seat in the classroom, not a teacher speaking from his position of authority - a white student witnessing the shaping (both destructive and constructive) of the self-images of her friends. Susan Gregory's account is simple, honest, young. But its message - a call for greater understanding between the races - has no age barrier. She is now a student at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.

My mom's book is still relevant today
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My mom wrote this autobiographical account when she was just a sophomore at Kalamazoo College in Michigan. It chronicles her life changing senior year at Marshall High School on the west side of Chicago in the racially charged 1960s. After her father decided to join the Ecumenical Institute and be transferred from affluent New Trier High School in Winnekta, on Chicago's North Shore, my already open-minded mother was exposed more directly to issues surrounding race and culture when she became Marshall's only white student. One result of this turbulent period in American history and this single year of her life was "Hey, White Girl!," an insightful book that will enlighten those of any age and race to the difficulties and amazing rewards of being young and learning from people different from yourself.
