Black No More

George S. Schuyler

A biting 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.
