Black No More

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.
