A biting 1931 science fiction satire of American racism, and one of the first works of Afrofuturism.
It’s New Years Day in 1933 in New York City and Max Disher, a young black man, has just heard the news: a mysterious doctor has discovered a strange process that can turn black skin white–a new way to “solve the American race problem.” Max, who is tired of being rejected and abused because of his dark skin, leaps at the opportunity. After receiving the “Black-No-More” procedure, he becomes Matthew Fisher, a white man who is able to attain everything he has ever wanted: money, power, and a beautiful wife. But it soon becomes apparent that America, whiter than ever, is becoming more and more dangerous . . . An extraordinary, cutting satire, Black No More is an utterly unique work of science fiction, and one of the first works of Black speculative fiction.Author: George S. Schuyler
