Book Overview

When Black Meets White is a novel written by John Louis Hill and published in 1922. The book explores the themes of race, identity, and belonging in America during the early 20th century. The story centers around the character of John, a young African American man who is torn between his desire to assimilate into white society and his loyalty to his black heritage. John's struggle is further complicated by his romantic interest in a white woman named Mary, which is met with disapproval from both black and white communities.
