Black No More
Despre carte
A biting 1931 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.
