By George S. Schuyler

From Amazon

In this trenchant twentieth-century satire, George S. Schuyler—fearless provocateur of the Harlem Renaissance—asked: What if there were an invention that could turn everyone’s skin pork-belly pink? Would the plague of white supremacy subside? Would Black people be able to avoid persistent social and economic prejudice? Would the entire arbitrary notion of race become a thing of the past?

Using this speculative “whitening” of the country as his inspiration, Schuyler spares no one—especially key historic figures of the 1930s—in his evisceration of the era’s racial politics. And although Black No More lands most of its punches against yesterday’s icons, its insights seem uncannily prescient today.

Revised edition: Previously published as Black No More, this edition of Black No More (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
