Black No More

Black No More is a sharp, provocative satire that imagines a near-future America in which a scientific procedure can transform Black people into white. Through biting humor and exaggerated scenarios, George S. Schuyler exposes the absurdities, hypocrisies, and contradictions underlying racial prejudice, segregation, and identity politics.

As the social and economic consequences of the invention spiral out of control, the novel skewers racism from every direction—challenging both white supremacy and superficial ideas of assimilation. Bold, irreverent, and unsettlingly relevant, Black No More remains one of the most daring and influential works of American satirical fiction.

First published in 1931, the novel stands as a landmark of African American literature, using comedy as a powerful lens to confront deeply rooted social realities.
