A biting science fiction satire of American racism, and one of the first works of Afrofuturism
George S. Schuyler (1895-1977) was one of the most prominent African American journalists of the early twentieth century. Born in Rhode Island, Schuyler spent his early years in New York, before enlisting in the US army in 1912. He returned to New York after briefly being AWOL to pursue a career in journalism. He wrote for black America's most influential newspaper, the Pittsburgh Courier, in addition to The Nation, The Washington Post and H. L. Mencken's The American Mercury.
A liberating and lacerating critique of American racial madness,
capitalism, and white superiority . . . Black No More resists the
push toward preaching and the urge toward looking backward into
history. Afrofuturist before such a term existed, it insists,
instead, on peering forward into what could come to be.
