Black No More

Black No More is a sharp, provocative satire that confronts race, identity, and social hypocrisy in early twentieth-century America. When a scientist invents a procedure that can turn Black people white, the discovery sends shockwaves through society, exposing the absurdities and contradictions of racism on both sides of the color line.

Following the transformation of Max Disher, the novel moves through political movements, extremist groups, opportunistic leaders, and media sensationalism, revealing how prejudice adapts rather than disappears. Schuyler’s biting humor and fearless social commentary strip away moral pretenses to show how power, fear, and self-interest shape public discourse.

Bold, unsettling, and darkly comic, Black No More remains one of the most important works of American satire, offering insights that remain strikingly relevant in modern conversations about race and identity.
