    An excellent reminder of the other side of the story
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2016*

For the most part, I loved that this read tells a tale that has been forgotten in the limelight of that which is the story of desegregation.  Yes, Black Americans had a tough time of it.  But yes, there was (and is) another side to that.  White Girl reminds us that there were white kids in the failed busing experiment of the '70s that were sent far into black neighborhoods and experienced their share of ridicule, altercations, and racism.  It just doesn't make for exciting news.The only reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 is the occasional whining feel I noticed.  Better to report the facts than create them.  Clara Silverstein has my deep respect for her choices, but as a journalist, she knows better.

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017*

In 1971, Clara Silverstein, white and Jewish and a brand new 6th-grader, was one of the first public school students to be bused to her mostly-black middle school in the forced desegregation of Richmond, VA. Silverstein’s first-hand account of a rarely-publicized aspect of school integration is an important addition to the ongoing dialog on race in the US. Shunned and bullied because of the color of her skin, and accused of being a “Jesus-killer” because of her religion, Silverstein sheds light on the messiness, the mishandling by adults in charge, the brutal growing pains—on the backs of children—of integration in the South. White Girl is an honest and courageous work that should figure prominently in the complex narrative of the Civil Rights Movement and its aftermath.
