What happens to a society built around racial divisions when science suddenly makes those divisions impossible to see? Dr. Junius Crookman has perfected a procedure that can transform a Black person into someone who appears completely white. Max Disher eagerly becomes one of the first to undergo the treatment. Emerging as Matthew Fisher, he enters a world that had previously been closed to him and discovers that a change in appearance can open doors-but cannot eliminate the prejudices, ambitions, and absurdities surrounding race.As the Black-No-More treatment spreads across the country, America’s racial order begins to unravel. Politicians, businesses, racial organizations, and defenders of white supremacy find themselves confronting a terrifying possibility: a society in which nobody can be certain who is Black and who is white. Institutions built upon racial distinction begin scrambling for new ways to preserve their influence. Sharp, outrageous, and frequently very funny, George S. Schuyler’s Black No More combines speculative fiction with biting social satire. Beneath its comic premise lies a relentless examination of prejudice, political opportunism, identity, and the people and institutions that profit from racial division.
